A dirty secret lurks in common household cleaning products, according to new independent lab testing on 20 popular products that found nearly all contained undisclosed toxic chemicals.
Alexandra Scranton, director of science and research for Women’s Voices for the Earth, says consumers deserve to know to what chemicals they’re being exposed so they can avoid products that may cause allergic reactions or serious long-term health problems such as cancer, birth defects or pregnancy complications.
