ANGEL PERFUME SAFETY IS BEING CALLED INTO QUESTION FOR ASTHMATIC CHILDREN

AND POSSIBLE FETAL HARM

Las Vegas, NV: Could your Mother's Day's gift result in an emergency room

visit for your child? The National Toxic Encephalopathy Foundation (NTEF),

has obtained reports from nationally recognized independent laboratories

which de-formulated Angel Perfume along with testing for airflow

limitations.

The statistics are frightfully alarming regarding children and asthma.

According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America; it is the most

chronic condition among children, it is more common in children (7-10%)

than adults (3-5%), nearly 5 million asthma sufferers are under the age of

18, affecting more than 1 child in 20, along with nearly half (44%) of all

asthma hospitalizations are related to children.

The NTEF has learned from an analysis done on, Angel Perfume by Thierrry

Mugler (imported from France and distributed by Clarins, Inc.), dated

February, 2006, " the primary effect was airflow limitation (an asthmatic

or asthma like reaction) " with 25% of the sample responding with a score

of 85 or over,this suggests a high toxicity for some individuals. A

majority of the chemicals used in Angel Perfume carry warnings of possible

adverse effects to the respiratory system.

Ms. M. Angel Defazio, President of NTEF, says that " the labeling that is

required by federal law to disclose the presence of potentially harmful

ingredients, is being overtly disregarded by Clarins on this product, and

possibly all of the firm's other fragrance products. " As required by the

following federal laws:

21CFR Sec. 740.1 States: The label of a cosmetic product shall bear

a warning statement whenever necessary or appropriate to prevent a health

hazard that may be associated with the product.

21CFRSec. 740.2States: A warning statement shall appear on the label

prominently and conspicuously as compared to other words statements,

designs or devices and in bold type on contrasting background to render it

likely to be read and understood by the ordinary individual under

customary conditions of purchase and use, but in no case may the letters

and/or numbers be less than 1/16th inch in height, unless an exemption

pursuant to paragraph ( of this section is established.

21CFR Sec. 740.10 States: Each ingredient used in a cosmetic product

and each finished cosmetic product shall be adequately substantiated for

safety prior to marketing. Any such productwhose safety is not adequately

substantiated prior to marketing is misbranded unless it contains the

following conspicuous statement on the principal display panel:

" Warning- The safety of this product has not been determined "

Alpha-Pinene - Breathing a-pinene can irritate the nose, throat

and lungs, and cause coughing, wheezing or shortness of breath. Exposure

can cause loss of coordination, dizziness, confusion, seizures and coma.

There is a chance it may damage the kidneys. This chemical has an odor

that has been described as being similar to turpentine.

Azulene - This chemical is irritating to the mucous membranes and

upper respiratory tract, and may be harmful as a result of inhalation or

skin absorption. The physical and toxicological properties of this

substance have not been thoroughly investigated.

Benzophenone 2 - Causes skin, eye and respiratory tract

irritation. The toxicological properties of this substance have not been

fully investigated.

Cedrol Methyl Ether - Irritating to both the eyes and respiratory

system.

3-Carene - Targets the eyes, skin and respiratory system.

Toxicological properties have not been fully investigated. This chemical

has an odor that is commonly described as being similar to turpetine.

D-Limonene - Potentially carcinogenic, with the risk of

irreversible effects. Irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory system;

may cause sensitization via skin contact and is dangerous to the

environment.

Diethyl Phthalate - A known irritant, with a warning of possible risk of

harm to the unborn child

(http://ptcl.chem.ox.a.uk/MSDS/DI/diethyl_phthalate.html), this substance

is also known to target the reproductive system

(www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/npgd0213.html). Because no mention of this chemical

is disclosed on the perfume's packaging, the NTEF is recommending that

pregnant women and those who believe they may be pregnant consult their

medical professionals if they are using Angel Perfume.

The NTEF is also referencing an article entitled " Effects of Odors on

Asthma " in the Journal of the American Medical Association (Shim, Chang,

M.D., , M. Henry, Jr., " Effects of Odors on Asthma. " The American

Journal of Medicine, Volume 80, January 1986, pp. 18-22) which indicated

that an alarming 72% of asthmatic attacks are triggered by perfume and

cologne.

The safety assurance referenced by Clarins. " the safe use of all Clarins

products is also ensured by having a through understanding of ingredients

used in our products " , needs to be further investigated by the appropriate

agencies. As none of this " so called safety assurance " can be made

applicable to Angel Perfume and possibly all the Angel Perfumed related

products according to the reports currently disclosed by Clarins and

received by this foundation.

The NTEF endorses the current plans to test " Miss Me " by Clarins for

safety.
