PBDEs - flame retardants that are rapidly accumulating in our bodies and the Great Lakes - are toxic to animals and may threaten our own health. HB 4465 would phase-out deca-BDE, the only remaining commercial polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) not yet banned in Michigan, in certain products for which effective, safer, affordable alternatives are already in use.

To protect Michigan's children, our firefighters, and the Great Lakes, Michigan needs to pass HB 4465 immediately. Please e-mail your representative today!
