"When passed, the Act declared safe some 62,000 chemicals already on the market, even though there were little or no data to support this policy. Since that time another 20,000 chemicals have been put into commerce in the United States, also with little or no data to support their safety.
Testing by Environmental Working Group has identified 455 chemicals in people, and again, no one has any idea if these exposures are safe.
We are at a tipping point, where the pollution in people is increasingly associated with a range of serious diseases and conditions from childhood cancer, to autism, ADHD, learning deficits, infertility, and birth defects. Yet even as our knowledge about the link between chemical exposure and human disease grows, the government has almost no authority to protect people from even the most hazardous chemicals on the market."
One more excerpt:
"The human race is now polluted with hundreds of industrial chemicals – with little or no understanding of the consequences. Babies are born pre-polluted with as many as 300 industrial chemicals in their bodies when they enter the world.
Our current federal chemical law is clearly failing us. We need the Kid-Safe Chemicals Act to protect human health from the thousands of toxic industrial chemicals on the market today."

“More than 30 years after the passage of the Toxic Substances
Control Act, at last we have a serious effort to bring U.S.
chemicals policy into the 21st century… One has only to look
at how little we know about the growing list of chemicals being
detected in our bodies and our environment to recognize that
this continued “toxic ignorance” must end.”
-- Dr. Richard Denison, Senior Scientist, Environmental Defense Fund
(EDF 2008
