I'm sure by now we are all aware of the
current lawsuit that Johnson and Johnson and Wal-Mart are facing due to
using toxic chemicals in their childrens shampoos and babywashes! For
those of you that are not please read this article carefully and then
check your bathroom cupboards!
“If you purchased Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Shampoo or Wal-Mart brand Equate Tearless Baby Wash, you may want to stop using it. A class action lawsuit has been approved this month that claims these products may contain a toxin linked to cancer.
The class action lawsuit, filed earlier this year, accuses Johnson & Johnson and Wal-Mart Stores of selling shampoo and baby wash that allegedly contains methylene chloride, an ingredient banned by the FDA in cosmetics because it’s linked to cancer. The law firm that filed the lawsuit is also investigating Target’s Night-time Bath and Body Wash, which is not currently named in the suit.
A third Johnson & Johnson plant is now also under investigation for alleged quality concerns. The new Johnson & Johnson plant is one that manufactures Pepcid and Mylanta among other products. You can read the details on that investigation at Legafi.” from Top Class Actions ~ Legal Lawsuits
This information is outragous and is
the reason our team with Work at Home United and Live Total Wellness
works so hard to educate those around us! I am adding a list of known
children's hygene products that are known to have toxic chemicals in
them.
A new study from the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics found that
many baby bath products contain formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane, which are
both linked to cancer and skin allergies. The campaign notes that
products with formaldehyde levels over 500 parts per million require
warning labels in Europe, although not in the USA. While all of the following products were tested for 1,4-dioxane, only 28 were tested for formaldehyde.

Now that you've read and
Hopefully gotten to print off this list... What toxin-demons are hiding
in your bathroom? I'd like to share a little story with you, I changed
the names but I'd like to share it with you because of the impact it
made to me and every time I walk down the childrens isle at the grocery
store it's made me realized how blessed I've been.
“Why should a three-year-old boy
have died a lingering and horrible death after swallowing three ounces
of hairconditioner? Two weeks after drinking the liquid, which contains
ammonia, the little boy died. And why should a seven-month-old little
baby-girl have died? She crawled through a puddle of spilled laundry
bleach which gave her third-degree burns on 50% of her tiny body, and
burned her lungs from the fumes as well. It took her four agonizing days
to die”
