Public pressure often works faster than regulation. As a European citizen, you can send a strong signal to companies that you are concerned about the impact of harmful chemicals on our health and the environment, and that you don’t want them in the products you buy.

Take Action! and help stop the use of harmful chemicals in consumer products.
