Phthalates Regulations

Phthalates are chemicals used to make plastics flexible, found in products like toys, packaging, and cosmetics. Due to health concerns, many countries have implemented regulations limiting their use, especially in items for children and products that come into contact with food or skin. These regulations aim to reduce exposure to potential hormonal disruptors and other health risks by setting strict safety standards, banning certain phthalates, and requiring transparent labeling. Overall, they help ensure that consumer products are safer and protect public health while allowing manufacturers to continue using these chemicals within regulated limits.
