As part of its report on back-to-school supplies, CHEJ also produced a guide to safer back-to-school supplies as a way to help parents make safer decisions.
Because back-to-school supplies are not regulated in the same way these products can be marketed and sold to children without threat of legal action, but CHEJ cautions parents to beware of school supplies, particularly those made of vinyl (think backpacks, binders, and lunch bags and boxes).
