Documentary Sheds Light on Toxic Household Products


By Dr. Mercola A family-oriented documentary called "Stink!"1 shines a bright light on the unregulated use of toxic chemicals in U.S. consumer products, from baby wipes and shampoo to floor cleaners and laundry detergents. The idea for the film originated from director Jon Whelan's experience in tracking down the source of a strong chemical odor that wafted off new pajamas he'd purchased for his two young daughters. After discovering the toxic stench was a trade secret held by the parent company of popular American tween store Justice, Whelan began investigating the fragrance industry, which he suggests is valued at $100 billion. What Whelan found is that manufacturers, with the aggressive backing of the chemical industry, routinely conceal thousands of potentially toxic ingredients in the baby care, household and personal care products you and your family use every day. They do so by using the term "fragrance," which is entirely free of government oversight and safety regulations.2 L
