Study Says Many Baby Bath Products Unsafe
The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics had baby shampoos, bubble baths and lotions tested for a chemical called 1,4-dioxane and formaldehyde.
Researchers found many products contained the substances, which the FDA does not require on product labels.
People get lulled into complacency because the assumption is made that the FDA is looking out for them and that if the FDA fails to declare something to be unsafe it must be safe for consumption.
On the other hand, if competition were allowed in the market place, the producers and sellers of these products would go to great lengths to demonstrate to the consumer how safe their product is.
In other words, there would be an incentive to go above and beyond the minimum standards set by the politicized alphabet-soup agencies under control by politicians and the wealthy lobbyists/corparations who pull their strings.
