The European Union was asked on Friday by the environmental group Greenpeace to ban the use of chemical plastic softeners in sex toys because they contain dangerous toxins. Seven of the eight sex toys tested by Greenpeace contained between 24% and 51% phthalates. Greenpeace spokesperson Bart van Opzeeland said: "We have tested many products in the last few years but never have we encountered such high concentrations." Phthalates can disrupt the human hormonal system, diminish fertility, and have negative affects on the kidneys and liver.
