About Us

HealthyToys.org is based on research conducted by environmental health organizations and other researchers around the country. The Ecology Center created HealthyToys.org and leads its research and development. The Ecology Center is a Michigan-based nonprofit environmental organization that works at the local, state, and national levels for clean production, healthy communities, environmental justice, and a sustainable future.  A number of groups either provided data for or participated in the release of HealthyToys.org.
