ACSH staffers received a very urgent message from the folks at the Environmental Working Group (EWG). Ken Cook, their president, writes, "If you're like me, you want to know your holiday gifts aren't full of toxic chemicals or exposing your family to high doses of radiation." He goes on to explain how a donation to EWG can save your family from every kind of horrific death this holiday season.
"These EWG people take advantage of any kind of holiday to scare people," says ACSH's Dr. Elizabeth Whelan. "Now that it's Christmastime, it's time to worry about toxic toys."
"Don't forget radiation," adds ACSH's Dr. Gilbert Ross. "At first, I had no clue what he was talking about when he said that, but of course he meant cell phones. I guess I'm not like him, since I'm not worried about that. I can assure you this is very effective fundraising. EWG does nothing else well besides fundraising."
