Like most people, I always assumed that if a product was on the market, it must be safe for our Familys. Actually most consumer products that we all use every day are filled with toxic chemicals. Many of them would require special handling if used in a chemical laboratory or in the workplace. In fact, in industry workers are required to wear special gloves, goggles, and sometimes even a respirator when using some of the exact same chemicals found in just about every home. We use products contaning the same chemicals at home with no protection at all and with no ventilation! We are Poisoning our Familys and Children! The consumer product safety Commission reported that 150 common household chemicals have been linked to allergies, brith defects, cancer and psychological abnormalities. You need to STOP and think what you are really putting in your house or Business.
