Panel Won't Order Recall Of Baby Toys
The Consumer Product Safety Commission will not ban softening chemical containing baby rattlers and teething toys despite calls from environmental groups and some European governments. It expects 90 percent of manufacturers to pull the items voluntarily by early next year, saying the chemical exposure to children from such toys does not pose a risk based on lab results. Fire destroyed the Pullman Works administration building, a key site in the 1890s labor movement, toppling its clock tower and collapsing the roof.
