Lucas,
Instead of getting clean, you may be getting cancer.
That's because everyday personal care products — like soap, shampoo, deodorant, lotion, perfume and cosmetics — can contain ingredients that cause cancer as well as reproductive and developmental problems.
Take action right now with our allies at Green America to make the personal care products we all use safer for ourselves and our children.
Under current law, corporations can hide hundreds of chemicals — including potentially hazardous carcinogens, pathogens and contaminants — under a single vague term like "fragrance" on a product's label.
A bill in Congress, the Safe Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Act, would finally give the Food and Drug Administration adequate oversight of the seemingly ordinary products we rely on to stay clean and healthy.
Go to Green America's website and urge your representative to co-sponsor the Safe Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Act.
The bill would even give the FDA long-overdue authority to recall unsafe personal care products.
We're pleased to work with our partners at Green America on this much-needed legislation to keep toxins out of everyday personal care products.
Take action with Green America today.
Thank you for doing your part to keep consumers safe.
Onward,
Robert Weissman
President, Public Citizen
