What level of carcinogens is safe for kids these days to be greedy companies.

Group finds carcinogens in kids bath products - USATODAY.com
Many children's bath products contain chemicals that may cause cancer and skin allergies, according to a report released Thursday by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.

Twenty-three of 28 products tested contained formaldehyde, the report says. Formaldehyde — considered a probable carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency, — is released as preservatives break down over time in a container.

PRODUCTS TESTED: Full list

Thirty-two of 48 products contained 1,4-dioxane, also considered a probable human carcinogen by the EPA, is a byproduct of a chemical processing techniques used to make petroleum-based ingredients gentler to the skin. Nearly two-thirds of products tested, including Johnson's Baby Shampoo, contained both chemicals, according to the campaign, a coalition of environmental and health groups that includes the Breast Cancer Fund and the Environmental Working Group.


Oh yea in the same article

Manufacturers have known for years that bubble bath, shampoo and other products contain small amounts of formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane, and have already reduced theses levels significantly, says John Bailey, the council's chief scientist.

Bailey says that preservatives make products safer by preventing the growth of bacteria, fungus and other potentially harmful microbes. There's no reason to take "extraordinary measures" to further reduce levels of these chemicals, he says, because there's no evidence to prove that low levels pose a risk.


See it's safe because there is no evidence.........Hey Mr Lawyerman Bailey does that mean tests were done or since none have been done there is no results? Not that the word of a major US corporation (or any for that matter, like the offshore international conglomerations) that been know to have a few kills under their belts all the while been takin our money. Mr. Laywerman has been proven over and over again and again.

Just fix the problem and try to make amends or go out of business your kind of company is not wanted here. Gone are the days of Corporation's with no SOUL killing us with only a concern of profits and damage control.

The people are rising up and it seems the likes of you are the last to notice.
