“Group finds carcinogens in kids bath products”. I saw this headline on Twitter today and immediately thought… is anything safe anymore? How sad that even giving your baby a bath could expose them to dangerous chemicals like formaldehyde! I’ve been thinking a lot about trying to go organic as much as possible when the baby is born and this story from USA Today is just one more reason to do exactly that.
Here’s the link to the story: http://twurl.nl/ah3e5z There’s a list at the bottom that tells you which products were tested and what the results were. They tested 28 products and 23 had formaldehyde, which the EPA considers a probably cancer causing agent not to mention it can seriously irritate your skin… so you certainly don’t want to bathe baby in them… right?!
One of the products was Johnson’s Baby Shampoo which had 210 parts per million of formaldehyde.
