FEELING THE SQUEEZE BECAUSE OF RISING OIL PRICES |
CLOTHES
Petroleum based fabrics (like polyester)
used in clothes, bandages, rain gear,
life jackets and pantyhose could cost more.
BABY GEAR
Diapers, infant seats and strollers are among
products using plastics and plastics makes
use natural gas as both an ingredient and
factory fuel.
HOME ELECTRONICS
Petrochemicals are in everything from
blenders, cameras, CD, DVD players,
digital clocks and even piano keys.
TOYS, CRAYONS
Toy makers are already warning next
year's holiday season will cost more because
of today's oil and antural gas prices. |
