Tris Ban Delayed as Congress Questions 5 CPSCs
The Consumer Product Safety Commission prepares to explain to Congress why it delayed a limited ban on Tris, a suspected carcinogen, after finding it causes cell mutations and birth defects. Lawmakers also seek why pre market testing standards for toxic substances were not set sooner. The ban on child sleepwear treated with Tris was issued April 8, with orders to repurchase unwashed garments amid court battles over cost sharing among yarn fabric and chemical manufacturers.

Four Million Dollar Fire Destroys North East Seminary
A Saturday night blaze at St. Marys Seminary in North East, Pennsylvania, caused estimated damages over 4 million dollars as fire gutted classrooms, offices, a biology lab, and the auditorium while a 20,000 volume library survived mostly intact. More than 400 firefighters contained the flames with the roof collapsing. 42 seminarians and a dozen Redemptorist Fathers escaped unharmed. Two dozen oil paintings were saved and several stone archways and spires remained. Displaced students and priests found shelter at St. Gregorys Church and local homes. Fire officials cited an uncertain cause, with the auditorium area cited as the origin. One firefighter was treated for smoke inhalation. The Redemptorist order, founded in Belgium, operates the seminary and maintains headquarters in New York City.
