I believe you shouldn't really complain about the
status quo unless you have a solution, or you are just
one of those folks who complain no matter what.

Alternative products exist beyond what Madison
avenue promotes. After all they are about profit
first. If it should happen that a compound they use
in the manufacture of a popular product is found to
harm it's users; have you ever heard of a company
withdrawing a product or reformulating at their own
cost without some ruckus raised by a consumer
group or FDA edict brought on by a multi-million
dollar lawsuit (The cost of which is put into the price
foreverafter)?

I know a company that decided on their own without
government or market or court intervention, to stop
using DEA in their manufacturing process.

DEA has been withdrawn in Europe from use in
further manufacture of Personal Care Products.
(Quite a few of my Friends are effected by this).
Mind you not an outright BAN, but it is no longer
allowed to be used in new Manufacture.
The same 'Big House' Manufacturers that Market
on a global scale have been forced to reformulate
the products that they sell in Europe.

Rather than dump the old stuff, where do you think it
could be marketed now until it's used up. They
certainly will sell reformulated products in the US
because it's too expensive to make multiple
formulations, (just ask Gasoline Manufacturers).

There are Safe, Family Friendly Alternatives.

We have to live here forever, so the products we
put on & in ourselves & our children should help
extend our lives, not shorten them.


Governments only do what we tell them to do,
and that reluctantly.
We can change things, after all we are the 'Market'
in this Market Based Economy.
