Christmas Fight: Teamsters vs. Toys R Us

Just in time for Black Friday, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union and an environmental justice group have released a report they commissioned attacking the nation's biggest toy seller, Toys R Us and Babies R Us, for allegedly selling "toxic toys."

The group says the toys purportedly contain polyvinyl chloride [PVC], citing studies that suggest PVC has been linked to cancer, brain damage, birth defects, disruption of the endocrine system, and immune system suppression, among other ailments.

"With holiday shopping in full swing," the Teamsters and the group warn, "the company's refusal to protect the health and safety of their customers puts at risk sales during the all-important holiday season."
