Calif. Bill Would Bar Toxins in Cell Phones, iPods
California would require manufacturers to phase out the use of hazardous materials in making cell phones, iPods and other electronic devices under a bill introduced by a state lawmaker.This is important with all the e-waste being created. If it passes in California, it will force most manufacturers to change their way. Hope it passes.
The bill unveiled on Thursday by Assembly Member Lori Saldana, a Democrat from San Diego, would apply to any electronic or battery-operated device. The bill, which was introduced on Wednesday, would require manufacturers to stop using the substances in devices sold in California by 2008.
