    So, let me get this straight a kid can't have a dirt bike and be outside, but they can hold on to an electric tablet made with the same chemicals almost 24/7??? 🤦‍♂️ We need find someone who will reverse as much of this as we can.. this just gets dumber by the day

    All cars with vinyl seats cannot be sold also sunsetter blinds must be outlawed as well as all fiberglass boats and brakes on all cars must be removed because it is much more unsafe to have PFAS in brake linings then being unable to stop and possibly run over pedestrians.

      Well, they already hand over driver's license to anyone who makes the pilgrimage here, and they really don't know how to stop even with brake pads.. so we might as well all be equal on the roads, right? Remember It's all about equality.. 🤣🤣🤣

    • @HPollard
      @HPollard 19 днів тому

      Pfas isnt necessary for the production of brake pads but likely was added because of greed by the company selling it. That company likely convinced someone at some point it was safer to have pfas. Now we are finding out it gives kids cancer, basically chemically castrates you and messes with most body systems. I can see the light, why can't you? Keep pushing Chinese products loaded with pfas on your kids. You reap what you sow.

    Someone see if Ms. Avonna Starck vapes . . . an unexplored route of potential PFAS exposure is via the e-liquids used in electronic cigarettes. While many PFAS are non-volatile under normal conditions, the heating elements in e-cigarettes may cause volatilisation of these compounds, allowing them to be inhaled.

    Stupid the state cares about a fender on motorbike more then its citizens drinking water. I spend over 600$ per year plus the cost of the crap water just to have clean safe drinking water from my tap.. If you drink lots of water like i do and you are having stomach h an kidney issues get your tap water tested most these issues started arising 1 yr after covid started and gets worse by the month but thw state is more concerned about a kids motor bike like hes goin to eat or drink it wow.

      I'm sure reactions would have been different if they had mentioned more companies or products this will affect.
      Notice how the paper they showed only has 3! listed model's banned😂.
      Why was there no mention of nonstick pans. Makes me wonder if all the play grounds that have been updated recently are compliant with the new law

      This comment is the only dumb one. MN is the worst state precisely because of laws like this.

      @scottjohnson921 explain how a law like this, that is aiming towards protection of our youth and environment, is in any regards a bad decision for the states future? Educate yourself before you hop on bullshit politic trains, especially when your information comes from media propaganda. Don't be a sheep, think for yourself.
