Errors in the confidence intervals (CI) of the last column of Table 5 (“Internalizing behavior”) resulted from a mistake in the formula developed for automatically updating tables directly from the statistical software used for the analysis. A corrected version of Table 5 is provided.

In addition, several typos were detected.
In the first paragraph of the Results section, the sentence “Phenols were detected in 73% (triclosan) to 100% (BPA; 2,5-dichlorophenols; methyl-paraben) of maternal urine samples…” should read: “Phenols were detected in 74% (ethyl-paraben) to 100% (BPA; 2,5-dichlorophenols; methyl-paraben) of maternal urine samples….”
In the first paragraph of the Results section, “MNBP” should read “MnBP.”
In the Results, in the “Sensitivity Analyses” subsection, the odds ratio (OR) for the association between dichlorophenols and conduct problems at 5 y should read “0.94” and not “0.90.”
In the second-to-last paragraph of the Results section, the CI for the OR without correction should read “(95% CI: 1.08, 1.82, Table 5)” rather than “(95% CI: 1.0, 1.82, Table 5).”
