A new report finds that despite label claims like “gentle” and “pure,” dozens of top-selling children’s bath products are contaminated with the cancer-causing chemicals formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane, according to new report and product tests released today by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and WISPIRG. The chemicals were not disclosed on product labels because contaminants are exempt from labeling laws. The report concludes that the US must reform cosmetic policies to protect people, especially babies and children, from unnecessary toxic chemical exposures.
