Don't Let Dingell Be a Dingaling

Fellow Michiganders and people who like babies and squishy toys-

Old Man Dingell has a key vote in a piece of legislation that could lead to a ban of phthalates. Phthalates are hard to pronounce chemicals (seriously though, who thought it would be a good idea to have so many consonants in a row?) that are included in adorable children's toys like rubber duckies and teething rings.

Adorable, right? Wrong. Phthalates have been linked to reduced sperm counts, damaged DNA, and undescended testicles in baby boys.

Tell Congressman Dingell to include the ban on phthalates on the legislation he is working on this week by going to this form. Or, if you are super lazy like me, you can take action by going to this website, where they do all the work for you.
