A brand-by-brand breakdown of the products used to care for kids, based on survey data for over 3,300 children in the U.S., reveals the dominance of a few large brands on the market, and the widespread use of chemicals of concern in products made especially for children. With no required pre-market testing, and no need to back up marketing claims, companies manufacturing children's products have near-complete discretion concerning decisions that may affect the health of American children. Learn more about the brands and products you and other parents use, and use our Parent's Buying Guide to help make better choices for your children. Within each brand, products are listed in order of the frequency with which they were selected in the survey.
