Each year, over 1 million children are accidentally poisoned in their homes. 250,000 of these victims are hospitalized. 3,000 children will end up in intensive care. Dozens more will die. Thousands of children and adults are permanently disfigured or injured through contact with chemicals in the home, each year incredibly, the most common substances to poison children is a household cleaner. Many of these products are considered safe! Think of your own home - you probably have dozens of bottles of cleaners, containing hundreds of chemicals.
Now that you are aware of this serious problem, what can we do about it? Look at the labels on the products in your home. You may see ingredients like formaldehyde, phenol, benzene, toluene, deet, dioxin (Agent Orange- found in Lysol), ammonia, cresol, lye, Perc or bleach. These are just a few of the many highly toxic chemicals that can be found in many name brand items we are buying, using and ingesting everyday. When I did this I foun out that lots of things don't even mention their ingredients. I wonder why!EDUCATE YOURSELF !!!
