Chlorinated paraffins are some of the most hazardous and high production volume chemicals in the world. They are persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic and are released into the environment throughout their life cycle. They are carcinogenic, disrupt the endocrine system, and are neurodevelopmental and reproductive toxicants.

In this study, we analyzed 31 toys purchased in ten countries. These results demonstrate that current gaps in the regulation of toxic chemicals are exposing children to some of the most hazardous chemicals in the world.
