The Consumer Benefits of the HSF Mark™

We as consumers are powerful motivators driving governmental entities to enact protective legislation in the area of hazardous-substance-free products. We are also powerful motivators driving industry to voluntarily embrace the "Green" movement by eliminating hazardous substances in the products that we buy and use every day.

It has become our responsibility to help companies understand the importance we are placing on hazardous substance free products and to inspire them to become socially and environmentally responsible.

We created the HSF Mark™ to benefit our global community of consumers in several ways.

The HSF Mark™ on a product's package indicates the following:

• The manufacturer declares that the product is produced in a certified environment that assures it's free from hazardous substances.
• The consumer's confidence when making purchase decisions.
• Traceability to the product's manufacturer.

We need to be informed about the products we purchase for ourselves and our families, especially when is comes to understanding and appreciating the risks of exposure to toxic heavy metals when using these products. We have the power to positively influence manufacturers and retailers throughout the world by insisting on purchasing only those products that carry the HSF Mark™.
