For example, an evaluation of products at dollar stores in the US revealed that 38% of products contained the toxic plastic PVC, and 32% of these products exceeded phthalate limits established by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Additionally, 81% of dollar store products contained at least one hazardous chemical above the established level of concern.
  • The FDA has regulations that specifically prohibit or restrict the use of certain ingredients in cosmetics, such as bithionol and mercury compounds. Tallow must be produced from tissues that are not prohibited cattle materials or must contain not more than 0.15 percent insoluble impurities.
