Fragrances, Smells in products

Linda’s Comments: Mary the best place is betty bridges site www.fpinva.org  and this one covers almost everything you could possibly need http://users.lmi.net/wilworks/

Rather than me bog you down with information that you might not need, you
can navigate the sites and pull what you feel is necessary for the attorneys.  It is time that we stop fragrances in the workplace, as the pose a threat to personnel.  There are several attorneys that have successfully sued employers.  One doctor had to pay a large sum of money, as one of his patients ended up passing out in their office and had to be taken to the hospital because of the fall.    Makes you wonder what our physicians are thinking, when they don’t restrict their staff from wearing fragrances, when administering health care to their patients?

If your questions are not answered with those sites, let me know…but I
know they cover everything you could possbly need.

Although companies are required by law to list all chemical ingredients in a personal care product, a loophole allows them to list “fragrance” as a general category instead of a specific one.
 “Fragrance” can actually include complex mixtures of hundreds of chemicals — some of which have been linked to allergies, skin reactions, endocrine and hormone disruption, and possibly even birth defects.
