SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Commission has been concerned with

potential risks posed to children under

3 years of age by the plasticizer

diisononyl phthalate (DINP), which is

used to soften some children’s teethers,

rattles, and toys made from polyvinyl

chloride (PVC). DINP can leach from

such products when they are mouthed

by children, causing some DINP to be

ingested. DINP has been shown to cause

liver and other organ toxicity in

laboratory animals. The Commission

has also received a petition (No. HP 99–

1) from the National Environmental

Trust and eleven other organizations

asking that the Commission ban PVC in

children’s products.

The Commission appointed a sevenmember CHAP to evaluate the existing

scientific information regarding the

mechanism by which DINP may cause

cancer and the implications of this on

the potential cancer risk to children.

The CHAP members were selected from

scientists recommended by the National

Academy of Sciences. See 15 U.S.C.

2077, 2030(b).

The first meeting of the CHAP on

DINP will be held on May 10 and 11,

2000, in the fourth floor hearing room

at the Commission’s offices at 4330 EastWest Highway, Bethesda, Maryland.

The meeting will begin at 8:30 am both

days and is scheduled to end at 5:00 pm

on May 10 and 4:00 pm on May 11.

The meeting is open to the public,

space permitting, but no opportunity for

public participation in the meeting is

scheduled. Such participation shall be

permitted only in the discretion of the

Chairman of the CHAP. There will be an

opportunity in connection with the

second meeting of the CHAP for

presentation of oral and written data

and views (date to be announced).

At the first CHAP meeting, the CHAP

will choose its Chair and Vice Chair and

the CPSC staff will present information

on the history of the DINP project, the

provisions of the Federal Hazardous

Substances Act, the CPSC’s Chronic

Hazard Guidelines, the CPSC staff’s

toxicity review and risk assessment for

DINP, and other work in progress on

DINP. During the remainder of the

meeting, the CHAP will consider how it

will proceed and begin its deliberations.

Dated: April 20, 2000.

Secretary, Consumer Product Safety

Commission.
