08 Civ. 10507 (PGG)

DECLARATION OF DANIEL R. VICE I, Daniel R. Vice, declare as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. I have been member of Public Citizen since December 2002. I live in Bethesda, Maryland. I have an infant daughter who is one year old and a son who is four years old. I buy toys and child-care products for my children at Babies R Us, Toys R Us,

CVS, and Target. 5. I am very concerned about the harmful effects that phthalates in toys and child-

care products, such as sippy cups, can have on my children's development. I first learned about phthalates and their effects by reading the U.S. Public Interest Research Group's reports on toy safety, and now, I've been seeing reports about phthalates on the news. I am especially concerned about my daughter who is at an age where she uses a sippy cup and puts everything-- including all kinds of plastic toys--in her mouth.
