Start with the basic building block of all narrative.

In a village of La Mancha, the name of which I have no desire to call to mind, there lived not long since one of those gentlemen that keep a lance in the lance-rack, an old buckler, a lean hack, and a greyhound for coursing.

Phthalates have come under increased scrutiny as a potentially harmful class of chemicals. Phthalates, a group of chemicals typically used as softeners for plastic products (plasticizers) or as solvents in some consumer products, are ubiquitous in today’s society. In some countries, regulations are already in place and more underway restricting the use or requiring the removal of phthalates from consumer products such as children’s toys and personal care products. In the United States, federal regulation is in place and more is under consideration to restrict their use. Meanwhile, similar regulations, and some even more restrictive regulations, are gaining traction at the state level. These efforts can and will affect a wide range of companies involved with the production, manufacturing, and distribution of phthalate-containing products.
