Environmental campaigners called the study 'extremely worrying' and called for a crackdown. Crackdown on what? all chemicals? poor journalism? it does not specify. The sort of open ended staement that the 'Mail' is brilliant at. |

Your assumed insinuation is flawed in that Phthalates are specifically used to soften plastics. Rotomoulded boats certainly don't need to be any softer so don't contain any. |

I love that the whole thing hinges on one group of boys prefering "sports" as indication of being less "masculine".
That's right, "sports" aren't manly lads. |

Also, it has nothing to do with the plastics used in rotomolds. In fact, the research looks pretty flimsy anyway.
