Product Recalls shared by Safe Kids USA

Hundreds of products are recalled by the U.S. federal government each year. If a product is recalled, it must be removed from store shelves, but often recalled products can still be found on the second-hand market or in homes.

Report: Rise in anti-malaria funding is paying off
New drugs, vaccines and technologies will be enlisted within a few years in the global fight against malaria as a result of the increase in funding for research of the disease since the 1990s, according to a report released Tuesday. "In the coming years, the fruits of this unprecedented investment in malaria research and development could save hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of lives," said an official with Roll Back Malaria, which commissioned the report.  Guardian (London), The/Sarah Boseley's Global Health Blog (6/28), Reuters (6/28)

Babies are born pre-polluted. Let's change that.

Did you know the current law regulating toxic chemicals was passed in 1976? And it hasn't changed since, even though 20,000 new chemicals have come onto the market since then.

Go to http://www.ewg.org/kid-safe-chemicals-act-blog/sign-petition-b/ to sign The Declaration to stop pollution in newborns.

People are polluted with hundreds of industrial chemicals. Babies are born pre-polluted with 300 industrial chemicals in their bodies when they enter the world.

We are at a tipping point, where the pollution in people is increasingly associated with a range of serious diseases and conditions from childhood cancer, to autism, ADHD, learning deficits, infertility, and birth defects.

It's time to step up and protect our children. Tell Congress and President Obama that you won't stand for this any longer.

SIGN THE DECLARATION: http://www.ewg.org/kid-safe-chemicals-act-blog/sign-petition-b/

Then share it with your friends. It's up to us to protect our children and make change happen.

End Childhood Hunger in America! - The Petition Site

The number of children fed by Feeding America food banks has increased 50 percent since 2006 to nearly 14 million children each year!

Even worse, four out of five of these children are under five years old. In this land of plenty, this is just not acceptable.
