This week three mortis traveled to Washington, DC on a mission, Wendy, Cindy and Lauren all recently lost their sons to a deadly chemical. Kevin, Drew and Joshua all died after using paint strippers containing the chemical methylene chloride-- products that are widely available at Lowe's, The Home Depot and other home improvement stores. These three women and other family members traveled to DC to tell their stories and urge our leaders to ban these dangerous products. They met with members of Congress and also Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt. Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 12 ED 002061 00045517-00001 As you'!! recall, last January the ERA proposed banning paint strippers containing methylene chloride and another toxic chemical called N-Methylpyrrolidone (IMMP) but the proposal was sitting in limbo. Yesterday, two days after ERA Administrator Pruitt met with family members, his agency a n n o u n c e d it would move forward and issue a final version of the methylene chloride rule " shortly." Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 12 ED 002061 00045517-00002 We couldn't believe it! This is a big deal and is due to the advocacy of these courageous moms. But the announcement was ambiguous-- and a number of crucial questions remain, Will the final version of the rule be a true ban on methylene chloride paint strippers as was proposed under the Obama administration or will it be watered down? Will it also include a ban on MMP, which is harmful to developing fetuses? And when exactly is "shortly"? Will you help Wendy, Cindy and Lauren keep the pressure on? Help us get answers and action by calling ERA Adminstrator Pruitt's office at 2G2-5S4-4700 (available Mon-Fri 9-5 ET) or the ERA Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention at 202-5S4-2902 (you can leave a message 24/7). Tell them: I want the ERA to finish the job on banning methylene chloride immediately, I want nothing less than a ban on methylene chloride and MMP in paint strippers for both consumer and commercial uses. (Then reply to this email to lei us know that you called,} These three young men all lost their lives in the time since the ERA originally proposed banning these dangerous products. Their mothers don't want anyone eise to go through what they've been experiencing. Please help keep the pressure on the ERA to finally ban these dangerous products.
