ACTION: Tell Toys "R" US and Wall Street to Stop Profiteering from Toxic Toys!
Tell Toys "R" US and Wall Street to Stop Profiteering from Toxic Toys!https://secure3.convio.net/ibt/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=479 "Despite promises to reduce toxic chemicals in toys, new testing shows that Toys "R" Us continues to sell products made out of polyvinyl chloride or PVC, the poison plastic, without adequate cautionary labeling for parents. Chemicals released during PVC's lifecycle are linked to chronic diseases on the rise in children including asthma, learning disabilities, obesity and cancer.
Now Wall Street bankers are set to profit from the sale of this toxic asset! KKR, the private equity firm that owns Toys "R" Us, is planning to sell $800 million worth of Toys "R" Us stock. But offloading Toys "R" Us without putting an end to toxic toys will further entrench irresponsible business practices at Toys "R" Us that put children's health at risk.
Help us hold Toys "R" Us responsible for selling toxic toys. Tell Toys "R" Us and Wall Street to stop the public sale of Toys "R" Us until the company agrees to label toxic toys and eliminates poison plastic from its toys.
Your message will be sent to executives at Toys "R" Us, KKR, Bain Capital, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Vornado Realty Trust, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank Securities, Wells Fargo Securities, Needham & Company, Mizuho Securities, BMO Capital Markets and Daiwa Capital Markets."
