❗️A House bill would weaken #TSCA and roll back federal protections against toxic chemicals. As states continue to lead in protecting communities, Congress must put our health first and reject this bill. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

❗Over 300 state legislators - including @behler-dylan.bsky.social, @dellfoley.bsky.social, & @sheilaruth.com in MD - are pushing back against chemical industry efforts to weaken #TSCA. The message to Congress: stand with communities, not polluters. www.saferstates.org/market-and-f...

A WA state bill would delay strong lead limits in cookware for years, slowing critical health protections. Lead is a toxic, brain-damaging chemical with no safe level of exposure, especially for kids. WA residents, tell your state senator: Oppose this bill and keep lead out of our kitchens. #waleg

Big Chem is pushing to roll back #TSCA protections against toxic chemicals in our water & food. This bill would drag us back to the days when EPA couldn’t even ban deadly chemicals like asbestos. #TSCA #MAHA www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Olympic skiers are saying goodbye to toxic #PFAS in their ski wax! If Olympic athletes can compete without PFAS, then it’s past time for retailers and policymakers to ditch these toxic “forever chemicals” in ski wax, cookware, and more—and transition to safer solutions.

⚠️ Public health protections are under threat. A House bill would weaken #TSCA by limiting the science EPA can use, removing requirements that chemicals be proven safe, and giving industry more sway over chemical reviews. Congress must reject this bill and protect our health from toxic chemicals.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... “changes to the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA)…limit the type of science…determine health risks, stop legally requiring the EPA to ensure chemicals won’t harm people…industry a prominent role in..review processes & make it..difficult..to ban toxic substances.

US EPA is seeking nominations for its SACC, which “provides independent advice & recommendations to the EPA on the scientific aspects of risk evaluations, methodologies, & approaches for chemicals regulated under the #TSCA.” Nominations due Feb 4: toxchange.toxicology.org/blogs/cynthi...

The Toxic Act is a chemical industry wish list that would weaken health protections and let more chemicals on the market without proper review. We need stronger chemical safety laws, not giveaways to polluters. Congress must stop the chemical industry from rolling back our health protections! #TSCA

"The purpose of TSCA is to protect people and the environment from harmful chemicals. The proposed changes to this law are alarming: they remove public health guardrails, undermine EPA’s ability to protect people from harmful chemicals, and will lead to more death and disease."

❗Happening today: The House Energy & Commerce Committee is considering the TOXIC Act—a chemical industry-backed bill that would weaken EPA authority, short-cut safety reviews and roll back protections from cancer-causing chemicals. 📢 Take action: toxicfreefuture.org/take-action/...

Our health is not up for negotiation. Tell Congress to protect the Toxic Substance Control Act.

Giant chemical corporations want to take us back to the dark days when EPA fast tracks dangerous chemicals like #PFAS, and when EPA couldn't even ban deadly chemicals like asbestos and methylene chloride. We need to stop these Big Chem rollbacks! #TSCA

Congress is considering a chemical industry wish list that would weaken EPA authority, fast-track new chemicals and let toxic substances like PFAS enter the market without full safety reviews. Congress must reject this assault on our health protections! #TSCA

Rep. Sykes said it best: our health is not for sale. The chemical industry is pushing Congress to weaken protections against toxic chemicals. The Toxics Substances Control Act (TSCA) keeps harmful chemicals out of everyday products like cleaning products, electronics, furniture and more.

The new #TSCA bill is nothing but a wish list for Big Chemical. It will bring us back to the dark days when EPA coudln't even ban deadly substances like asbestos. Read our @toxicfreefuture.bsky.social press statement below.

Environmental groups urge Congress not to weaken the Toxic Substances Control Act, which evaluates chemicals to ensure human & environmental health before chemicals are put into the marketplace. #EnvironmentalJustice www.thenewlede.org/2026/01/tsca...

🎉 Big win for our health! WA is now the first state in the U.S. to ban all #bisphenols in receipts. And many major retailers have already eliminated bisphenols, proof that policy + market pressure = change. Read our @toxicfreefuture.bsky.social press release: toxicfreefuture.org/press-room/w...

🧾 Our new #MindTheStore survey also found retailers are stepping up. Eighteen major retailers, from CVS Health to TJX, have already eliminated toxic bisphenols from receipts nationwide. That’s a big win for shoppers & retail workers, and shows how we’re driving change in the marketplace.

🏆 WA just became the 1st state to ban all bisphenols in receipt paper & other thermal paper—protecting workers & shoppers from a hidden source of chemical exposure. This is what health-protective policy looks like: proving we don’t have to accept toxic chemicals as the cost of doing business.

EPA said they would NOT regulate #phthalates in consumer products. This is a big win for Big Chem, and a major loss for American families nationwide who are regularly exposed to phthalates from everyday products, especially flexible #PVC plastic. Infants, children, & pregnant women are vulnerable.

The EPA had a chance to strengthen protections against toxic #phthalates — chemicals linked to infertility and birth defects. Instead, they sided with the chemical lobby once again. American families deserve better. #TSCA

Strong blog post from Toxic-Free Future: "If EPA were truly relying on “gold standard science,” it would follow the lead of states and companies that have already banned phthalates in consumer products and switched to safer alternatives." toxicfreefuture.org/blog/epa-sid...

EPA's new rules fail to protect consumers from toxic phthalates in our food, homes, and products, leaving children's developing brains and bodies especially at risk of harm. wapo.st/4puTMa7

The EPA had a chance to strengthen protections against toxic #phthalates — chemicals linked to hormone and reproductive harm. Instead, they sided with industry. Families deserve better. #TSCA #MAHA toxicfreefuture.org/blog/epa-sid...

🚨Health advocates are sounding the alarm as industry pushes to weaken #TSCA, a law that keeps unsafe chemicals out of our homes, food, drinking water, and bodies. Congress must protect our health, not polluters. #PFAS #plastics #PolluterProtectionAct Check out this story:

When federal agencies stalled on toxic chemicals this past year, states stepped up. In 2025, states led the way on PFAS, toxic chemicals, and safer alternatives, putting public health ahead of corporate influence. The roundup via @saferstates.bsky.social 👇 www.saferstates.org/insights/sta...

Everyone wants clean air, clean water, safe food, and healthier homes. In 2025, states proved that when leaders put health over profit and ignore industry spin, real progress on toxic chemicals and plastics is possible. #StatesInTheLead 🔗 Read more here: www.saferstates.org/insights/sta...

New research from @toxicfreefuture.bsky.social finds PVC—the “poison plastic”—in packaging from major #HomeDepot suppliers. With NY & WA weighing #PVC restrictions, retailers keeping it on shelves are taking on real regulatory and brand risk. Full post: toxicfreefuture.org/blog/packed-...

Our new research shows many of The Home Depot’s top suppliers are still using PVC in their packaging. Seriously?! #PVC doesn’t make our homes better; it threatens our health, safety, and the environment. 🌎 The Home Depot can and must do more to phase it out of all packaging on store shelves.

"I have seen the smothering haze from factories and incinerators, and watched the bay of my childhood become a cesspool and graveyard of plastic trash. But I have also seen former dumps rehabilitated into beautiful community gardens."

Plastics aren’t cheap when you count the health costs. Duke University researchers estimate they cost the U.S. $1.1 trillion each year — from toxic chemicals to pollution and waste. We can’t afford toxic plastics like PVC. www.thenewlede.org/2025/11/us-s...

This Veterans Day, I honor the vets who risked everything — and were exposed to deadly chemicals like dioxin/Agent Orange, TCE, and PFAS. They deserve justice and action. It’s time to turn off the tap on toxics and protect those who protect us. #VeteransDay #PFAS #HonorOurVets

In the midst of a federal hiring freeze, JD Vance’s best buddy was hired to lead the nation’s premier environmental health sciences institute—even though the position wasn’t vacant—raising fears of political favoritism. Read more at @insideclimatenews.org insideclimatenews.org/news/2110202...

Home Depot has already taken the first step by limiting PVC in its own brand packaging. Now it’s time to finish the job by banning PVC in all packaging and bringing safer, PVC-free building materials to market. 🔨 It’s time for The Home Depot to build a safer future! #MindTheStore #BanPVC

🏭 TFF's Mike Schade lives 7 miles downwind of an incinerator that burns plastics and trash. #PVC packaging is toxic from production to disposal, polluting nearby communities and releasing dioxins—some of the most dangerous chemicals on the planet— when burned at incinerators like this one.
