The case for Lowe’s and other retailers to stop selling dangerous paint strippers has never been stronger.

Today a group of leading public health organizations, including the Learning Disabilities Association of America and Autism Society, publicly called on Lowe’s to protect kids from toxic paint strippers.

Methylene chloride has killed more than 50 people across the country but so far E.P.A. and home improvement retailers have failed to act.

We’re just 8 days away… We’ve asked the big ten retailers to respond to our new Mind the Store campaign by June 1^st, and I think the initial responses will be telling to see who is willing to sit down with us and work out a plan for addressing toxic chemicals.

Our bloggers are helping to move the market away from toxic chemicals! With the combined efforts of concerned citizens around the country as well as the top retailers ongoing efforts, we are hoping that trips to your local retailer will come with a little extra piece of mind.

As a college student it’s safe to say I spend a lot of time on YouTube. But it was a new experience for me to watch moms and bloggers from across the country post videos about their involvement in the Mind the Store campaign. We wanted to share some of the highlights so you could see how easy it is to ask your favorite retailers to Mind the Store.
