Representative Henry A. Waxman 30th District of California

Rep. Waxman has long been concerned with the growing list of dangerous chemicals used in commerce that are going undetected in consumer products, polluting the environment and even showing up in our bodies. As a leading supporter of landmark legislation that puts the burden on manufacturers to prove the safety of their products before they enter the market, Rep. Waxman has worked to protect the public from exposure to lead and hazardous chemicals like pesticides.
