MomsRising member,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>We heard
from outraged young moms, grandmas, pre-schools, and our own team members about
one thing yesterday: Toxic lead in a popular line of children's toys. It's a
scary thing. Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends toys are now the subject of a
major recall by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The CPSC advises
consumers to immediately stop using these toys. Here's the link to their recall
notice so you can find out exactly which toys are trouble: <br>

this email along to friends with kids so they can make sure their kids don't
have these toys, or put them in their mouths! Sadly, more and more imported
toys are being recalled due to toxics. So after you tell your friends about the
Thomas recall, then please take action to stop this toxic trend by signing our
petition (the link is below).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

12.0pt'>We'll deliver these petition signatures to key members of Congress, and
the Executive Director of the CPSC, Patsy Semple, to let them know we demand
safety and higher standards for our children. And, we'll also let those leaders
know the amount of petition signatures that come in on a daily basis so they
know a movement for change is building. When leaders are backed by large
numbers of people, then they can more quickly and effectively make important
changes. So the more people that sign on the petition, the faster we'll get on
top of this issue. Please forward this email and petition link to your friends
and family so we can push these changes through quickly. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-weight:bold'>STOP THIS TOXIC TREND:</span></font></b> Sadly recent
exposure to lead isn't limited to Thomas the Tank Engine toys. Unhealthy levels
of lead are being found in many children's products, from bibs to vinyl
lunchboxes to candy. This is particularly dangerous because children under six
years old are more likely to put things in their mouths, and because children's
developing bodies and brains are more vulnerable to heavy metal exposures than
adults. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The
Centers for Disease Control notes: </span></font><span lang=EN>Lead poisoning
can affect nearly every system in the body. Because lead poisoning often occurs
with no obvious symptoms, it frequently goes unrecognized. Lead poisoning can
cause learning disabilities, behavioral problems, and, at very high levels,
seizures, coma, and even death.</span> Joining together, we can stop these
unsafe toys and children's products. Let's stand up as parents and demand
oversight from the agency that's supposed to protect us?the Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC). <o:p></o:p></p>
