A group of protesters, accompanied by Mayor Jim Richetelli met at the gazebo on the green today to protest toxic toys in Connecticut. The purpose and scope of the local rally was to force Ct's legislators to pass a law protecting children from these harmful toys.
To get noticed the local protesters used a giant inflatable "Rubber Ducky" to get the attention of the people passing by. Local news stations attended including channel 12 who is airing a segment on the days events. Local papers will also carry the story.
These toys, according to a previous inquiry by Sen. Chris Dodd called for tough federal sanctions against Chinese manufactures who were responsible for using unsafe chemicals such as lead paint, and other hazardous materials. The video below is of CT's US Senator Chris Dodd addressing the toxic toy concerns of parents with young children. (This video was about eight months ago.)
