Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 HI, All -- To all of you who are undertaking such efforts, please feel free to use in your behalf the work that has preceded you. Also, please feel free to share this info far and wide, if you find it helpful. I'm not on all of the lists due to my own health battles with renal failure . .. . most recent tests showed I was at stage five, but I still feel fine. Getting MSDS for chemicals found is the same type of effort that Kendall did in the early 1990s. She took info from MSDS and then connected that with the information from an EPA study of 31 fragrance products. I know because I worked with her to put her efforts into a one-page 8.5 x 11 flyer. You can get to her work at http://users.lmi.net/~wilworks/ehnhompg/kendall.htm She had only asked that when using her work, she was given credit. I respect her wish posthumously and trust you all will, too. Then, in 1998 and 1999 in preparation for what became EHN's petition of the FDA, and assigned docket number 99P-1340 by that agency, Betty Bridges and I had perfumes analyzed. We also had just one perfume analyzed by a second lab, which was also a member of the industry. Then, with me as sous chef, we searched for the MSDS to the chemicals found through reverse engineering. The FDA was given its required four copies, which included all fo the MSDS we were able to find at that time. The petition is up online at both EHN (my donated site to EHN -- http://www.ehnca.org) and at Betty's Fragranced Products Informatiion Network (http://www.fpinva.org). On EHN's site, on the Table of Chemicals found in Calvin Klein's Eternity eau de parfum, I've also added information garnered from EPA's Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Inventory (http://msds.pdc.cornell.edu/tscasrch.asp) and from the Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances. (RTECS) (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/rtecs.html). That info is available at http://users.lmi.net/~wilworks/FDApetition/analysis.htm On FPIN the analysis is available at http://www.fpinva.org/Activist/FDAanalysis.htm For those of you who have yet to write to the US Food and Drug Administration regarding the adverse events* you suffer when encountering fragrance products, please take the golden opportunity to do so now. Just email the FDA at fdadockets@... and include on the SUBJECT LINE: 99P-1340 For more information on writing to the FDA, please visit http://users.lmi.net/wilworks/FDApetition/bkgrinfo.htm#communication The entire petition begins at http://users.lmi.net/wilworks/FDApetition/bkgrinfo.htm on EHN's site. May I remind all of you that oil is considered a " natural " product so you've got to be mindful of the wits who will throw that one in your face. They sure do so with table salt. Every time you breathe a word about reducing the use of pesticides, you'll get Monsanto's famous line about table salt being a poison. Just be prepared mentally if going to court. And for more information/documentation about the harmful effects of fragrances, please check EHN's section, Fragrance Info at http://users.lmi.net/~wilworks/ehnlinx/f.htm#Fragrance We ALL are stakeholders when it comes to breathing. Best wishes to all, barb wilkie www.ehnca.org * " Adverse event " is the phrase used by the FDA and takes into consideration everything from an upset stomach to premature death. And believe you me, fragrances, like drugs, can cause everything from an upset stomach to premature death. +++++++++++ >TO all my friends and supporters.....Clarins aka Theirry Mugler aka >Angel Perfume has now provided to me their MSDS sheet. > >Notice the consistent references to harmful dangerous.
