Did you know?

70% of IV bags contain DEHP - a toxic chemical linked to serious health impacts, including:

• Breast, liver, colorectal, and ovarian cancers
• Hormone disruption
• Birth defects
• Drug resistance and treatment interference
• Neurodevelopmental concerns
• Increased breast cancer relapse and mortality

DEHP migrates directly into IV fluids, putting patients and healthcare providers at risk.

Nurses are concerned and ready for change:

• 83% of nurses worry about these chemical exposures
• 98.5% would choose DEHP-free alternatives

Real Change is Happening: In 2024, California nurses helped pass landmark legislation banning DEHP in IV bags and tubes, proving that nurses' collective power can create change. Now, it’s time to build national momentum for toxic-free IVs.

TAKE ACTION NOW: Safer alternatives already exist and hospitals can make the switch!
