 It's been on the market for more than 40 years, and it's found in everything from antibacterial soap to toothpaste to toys. 
Article PhotoBut there's a chance that the FDA is about to declare the chemical triclosan unsafe, in a review due to be completed this year. The germ-killer is one of a host of chemicals found in everyday American products that have never been approved by the FDA, and animal research indicates that it may increase the risk of infertility, early puberty, and other hormone problems, the AP reports.
But Congress specifically ordered the FDA to look into a number of common antibacterial chemicals, including triclosan, way back in 1972
what extent did they take research seems like not far? is this failure to protect, if so then why are the chief proponents of deregulation telling an agency they would have abolished to recheck.
 it's phony on all levels, they now want to regulate while fighting against regulation, no wonder they are so screwed up they don't know which way is up.
when they try to "change" the path they are on they get lost in the jungle of lies and can't find their way out so they use the old right way tried and loser way out more lies.
