"Use your purchasing power to drive positive change in the marketplace," said Mike Schade of Safer Chemicals Healthy Families , a group devoted to reducing toxic chemical footprints. "Ask major retailers to get tough on manufacturers and use their influence to rid the marketplace of toxic chemicals." Corporate public relations at Lowe's said: "Safer Chemicals shared a copy of their study with us. And Best Buy told us they are working on a safer chemicals policy and restricted substance list." Schade also pointed to the economic fallout that can affect companies when consumers find out that a company has been selling toxic products.
