» Another new report shows unsafe levels of toxic chemicals in many school supplies and outerwear. Avoid any product made with vinyl or PVC, especially for your children.

The report recommends that parents:

• Always buy products that do not contain vinyl
• Check for universal recycling symbol. If the product has been labeled as V or PVC, then avoid the product.
• If you are unsure if the product has vinyl then email or call the 1-800 number of the manufacturer or the retailer and ask them about the material used in the product.
