One day last week, I think, I read in a section of the crappy local paper (which my office gets) about the U.S. being a dumping ground for plastics which leach toxins such as phthalates, including items such as teething rings for babies, since we haven't outright banned phthalate-containing plastics. Vinyl flooring can be really nasty too. Countries manufacture unsafe stuff for sale here which won't allow it for sale in their own countries.

I don't have any kids, nor plan on laying any sticky tiles. So ....I'm a little slow. I just made a connection to something closer to home.
