The Tip is 'Keep eyes open' After reading an article about items made in America I thought about how many times I make purchases without thinking. I'm usually focused on budget and needs.

Now I keep my eyes open and I am surprised how easy it is to find American products. It only takes a few seconds to look. Now I make a point when I am shopping to search for made in America brands. By doing so, I'm able to identify more and more what products are made in America. Even with my eyes open to made in USA I can get discouraged. Sometimes store clerks don't know the country of origin which can be frustrating. If this happens use your eyes to find the origin information yourself. Look at the labels and when you find a Made in USA product tell the clerk so the next time they are asked they will know. Also, when the label is not easily seen I use the other made in America buying tips to help me find made in USA.

Touch ?n Seal and Touch ?n Foam products are entirely BPE-Free, and are not / will not be affected by any current or pending legislation targeted at banning brominated flame retardants. As of January, 2006, 14 states have enacted, or are in the process of enacting, legislation to ban specific brominated flame retardants. Numerous scientific studies have found some brominated flame retardants have leached into groundwater from landfills, ultimately ending up in the human bloodstream. Because of a solid body of scientific evidence, many states are now being proactive by restricting the usage of these compounds. The chemical compounds are generally called BPEs (brominated diphenyl ethers), or PBPEs (polybrominated diphenyl ethers), and the specific compounds under the threat of a ban are penta-BPEs, octa-BPEs, and deca-BPEs. They are commonly used in electronic applications, and sometimes in polyurethane spray foams. This legislation will have no effect on any Touch ?n Seal or Touch ?n Foam product. |
