While children enjoy the same benefits of chemistry as the rest of us, we realize they may have special needs. That's why manufacturers go to great lengths to assure products are safe for their intended use. And that's also why we have energetically supported the National Children's Study, a long-term, comprehensive study to examine the effects of environmental influences on the health and development of more than 100,000 children across the United States. We also make the results of our research available to the public, so that you can make your own decisions about what is right for you and your family.
