EHN petitions the FDA to follow its regulations, already on its books. We ask that the FDA requires warning labels on fragrances released to market without adequate testing.
Synthetic fragrances contain chemicals that can enter one's body via absorption and inhalation.
Some of the individual chemicals are known or suspected irritants, sensitizers, neurotoxins, carcinogens, and teratogens. Too many of the chemicals have no toxicological data available. Often you find that chemicals used in a product that is inhaled, have no data on adverse effects suffered upon inhalation. Nor have the chemical formulations been adequately tested for inhalation, neurotoxitiy, or systemic effects. You can use this to write to representatives and senators other than your own.
