Tell the Makers of Tide to Strip 1,4-Dioxane Out of Free & Gentle!
Posted February 7th, 2012
Test results in our recent report, Dirty Secrets, revealed high levels of a cancer-causing chemical called 1,4-dioxane hiding out in Tide Free & Gentle®.
What’s most appalling is that Tide Free & Gentle® is marketed to moms as a healthier choice for their children’s laundry. Yet infants and children are more vulnerable to chemical exposures because their immune, neurological, and hormone systems are still developing.
Join us in demanding that Procter & Gamble, makers of Tide, strip this harmful cancer-causing chemical out of Tide Free & Gentle®!
Ask the FDA to Recall Toxic Hair Straighteners.

More than a year after reports surfaced about dangerous levels of formaldehyde in Brazilian Blowout and keratin hair straightening treatments, the products are still being used in salons across the U.S. The California Attorney General just settled lawsuit against Brazilian Blowout that the company must cease deceptive advertising practices and put caution stickers on its products advising users that the product releases formaldehyde gas.
This is not enough to protect stylists and consumers from exposure to a known cancer-causing chemical! It’s time the U.S. FDA took action to protect stylists and consumers from these hazardous products, too.
We deserve safe products–don’t you think?

Ask the FDA to issue a voluntary recall of toxic hair straighteners! |
Why a Women's Organization?We believe that women have incredible social, economic, and political power to change the systems that allow toxic chemicals in products in the first place.
