Some of them are in products we all use — including children’s products. Children can be more susceptible to some chemicals. Some chemicals can interfere with a child's growth and development. Children's bodies are small so they can take in more chemicals in proportion to their body weight than adults. Children can come in contact with more chemicals by their behavior, like putting hands and objects in their mouths. Vermont prioritizes protecting public health and the environment. Beginning 2017, manufacturers who use chemicals designated by the State of Vermont as Chemicals of High Concern to Children (CHCC) must report information about these chemicals to the Health Department.

The reports apply to children's products that are offered for sale in Vermont. Read the glossary of terms You can now view or search for a product through the High Priority Chemicals Data System. See the User Guide or watch the video below for instructions on how to search for products. Search for a Product Here are some tips for searching in the data system: Company means the manufacturer, which may be found on the product or its packaging. If the manufacturer is not based in the U.S., their name may not be the name in the data system. The company responsible for reporting must have a presence in the U.S. Brand name is typically the name on the product or its packaging and may not match the manufacturer's name. Product model may be a specific model number or a description associated with the Universal Product Code (UPC), like "10-inch Blue Plush Teddy Bear". Universal Product Code (UPC) is the 12-digit number found on the product's bar code. Not all products have a UPC. Frequently Asked Questions What types of children's products are reported? Products with chemicals of concern that are marketed, distributed or sold to children under 12 years old in Vermont are reported to the Chemical Disclosure Program. Certain products are exempt by law, including some electronics, batteries, soap, snow sport equipment, used or secondhand products and parts of products that may not be accessible. See a list of exempt products How should I start a product search? Use these tips to begin searching the database: Try searching for the UPC for the most direct results. If you don't have the UPC, search by the product model, brand name or manufacturer shown on the product or its packaging. Under the "Reporting Period" column, look at or filter by the current year for the most recent reports. Products are only reported during the period they are for sale. Why is my product not available in the search? You may not be able to find the product you're looking for because: The product is no longer for sale. The product may be exempt or not meet reporting requirements. The product was not reported or has not been published yet. Learn more about Vermont's law and regulations Act 188 (2014) There are currently 89 chemicals on the State’s list of Chemicals of High Concern to Children Vermont Statute Title 18, Chapter 38A (Act 188, 2014) requires manufacturers to report the use of chemicals on this list to the Health Department. A "chemical of high concern to children" means a chemical listed under Act 188, or a chemical designated by the Health Department as a chemical of high concern by rule under §1776. Chemical of High Concern in Children's Products Rule The Chemical of High Concern in Children's Products Rule provides the information required from the manufacturer about the CHCC(s) in their products. CHCCs that are intentionally added to a children’s product must be reported when present in the product at a level above the Practical Quantitation Limit (PQL). The PQL is the lowest amount of a chemical that can be measured in a product with confidence. If a CHCC is not intentionally added, the product must be reported when the CHCC is at concentrations of 100 parts per million or greater.
