Here I am again researching chemicals in our products and I learn that FDA has decided to lessen its restrictions on labels. I thought … that can’t be true. But I assure you, sadly it is. So let’s talk about it …
Below is a table that lists the chemical, products, health effects, and regulatory status.
We are left to do our own research about the chemicals in our products. I dare you to call the number on the back of your laundry detergent bottle and ask for a list of the ingredients from the company. I did this and after being transferred from person to person, one kind woman told me I would not be able to get the information in which I seek. Why not? Isn’t that against the law? No, it is not.
Please research what you are using in your own homes!!!
There are a few ways for you to do your research. I will list some resources below:
“The law doesn’t require cosmetics to have FDA approval before they go on the market. But FDA can take action against a cosmetic on the market if we have reliable information showing that it is unsafe when consumers use it according to directions on the label, or in the customary or expected way, or if it is not labeled properly.”
Define “RELIABLE” information 😡
What you don’t know WILL hurt you 😔
