Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Thanks for the alert but fortunately the claims of a lipstick health risk appear to be a hoax. http://www.cancerhelp.org.uk/help/?page=6338 It is debunked on several other sites as well. There are a lot of e-mails like this going around, I've found they often don't hold up if you run a search on them. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
