Here is what it says:

Petition for a Consumer Pesticide Safety Bill of Rights

Consumers have the right to be protected from toxic pesticides.

Consumers have the right to warnings on the products they bring into their homes, including the right to know whether a pesticide is linked to cancer and other health harms.

Consumers have the right to know if someone nearby is spraying a toxic pesticide that can make them sick.

Consumers have the right to know that the food they feed their children is subject to the toughest pesticide safety standards.

Consumers have the right to expect that their children are protected from toxic pesticides at school or when playing in local parks.

Consumers have the right to expect that America’s pesticide regulators will act quickly to review toxic pesticides after other nations ban the chemicals.

Consumers have the right to know where pesticides have been used, when pesticides have been mishandled and when they’re detected in food and water.

Consumers have the right to justice when pesticides have caused harm.

Congress should reject new pesticide laws that fail to grant consumers the safeguards we deserve.
