Hurt, no treatment Made Nov 9, 2016, sent to the company Nov 18, 2016, published by CPSC Dec 12, 2016
The product, in the report: 7th Generation Laundry Detergent “non-toxic” “free & clear”
7th generation laundry detergent has a very misleading label. It claims to be “non-toxic”, “all natural”, “free and clear”, and “clinically proven hypoallergenic”. Only close examination reveals that it contains “synthetic preservatives”. Benz + methyl isothiazolinone. There are a biocide. It is an “all natural” synthetic “non-toxic” biocide. This is a nonsensical description. Impossible. Consumers using this product do so believing the claims on the label. The biocides in the soap are very likely to affect them. They do me. I experienced neurotoxin effects similar to triclosan or DEET. See info on back of last page.
