Six children in a wealthy suburb developed rare cancers. Authorities are eyeing pesticides.
Over a dozen children living in a wealthy southern California suburb have been diagnosed with rare cancers, their families say, prompting officials to investigate whether possible pesticide exposure could be a common link.
In a letter sent Thursday, First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli requested an Environmental Protection Agency review after several parents told NBC Los Angeles that their children had been diagnosed with rare cancers, including synovial sarcoma and the even rarer Ewing sarcoma.

After reading a similar story back in late 1992 about a 9 year old child dying from a rare form of cancer which the parents found could be connected to the lawn treatments that had been used, Tanya, the founder of our company starting researching. She found that many ingredients in the conventional lawn care products could cause many health problems including cancer.
Therefore she then did more research and found that there were many ways to have a nice beautiful lawn while also being safe for children and pets.
This is why she then made the decision in 1993 along with her husband, David to invest their time and money into offering safe lawn care options to Nashville and other surrounding areas. Their teenage son Edward then joined in this business endeavor a couple of years later.
