How about walking into certain stores, where the products listed here are so ubiquitous, that you find yourself struggling to breathe? Imagine the lives of the poor sales staff who have to work in these places!

The report is not new information, but very glad the proper info has been released. There are millions that have worked on this issue for years. Many suffering silently can't work because of the main problem fragrance just as the report stated.
They say it is flawed becasue they combined many chemicals. That is what is going on in the world. Women put sometimes 10 different products on their bodies with so many chemicals and out they go. So you put many women and men in a room with all those products on their body, and the people that are sensitive rather from reactive airways disease, asthma, or many aliments get very ill especially in enclosed places such as school, workplace, elevators, etc.
We have been writing about this for years, but no one did anything. Legislation is pending and our leaders admit to many of these products causing Cancer and many illnesses. The problem is the chemical lobbyists are spending a lot of money trying to derail this legislation or information that many of these products cause harm.
In the 1970's the TSCA was enacted but nothing was ever done to make these companies tell the EPA what goes into the secret formula.
It is time to make these products safer, not just label them because many lives have been put on hold while corporations make money while many of us can't even work. And are not getting compensated for our suffering. Thank you for your very important report.
