Laundry woes...the next installment

Some of you were quite shocked by yesterday's post. I'm with you there! But what now?

First of all, if you're the activist type (even ever-so-slightly), file an official complaint.

• Visit the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission website or call 1-800-638-2772 to voice your concerns.
• Call the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission at 1-301-504-0424 to request a report about fabric softeners. Due to the Freedom of Information Act, these reports must be available to you. You can request the following:
• reports from the Emergency Room
• consumer complaints
• death certificate reports
• in-depth investigations
• Call the manufacturers directly.
• Proctor and Gamble (Downy and Bounce)  1-800-543-1745
• Lever Brothers (Snuggle)  1-800-598-5005
• Seventh Generation  1-802-658-3773

Surprised to see Seventh Generation on the list? I hated to add it. But the fact is, their fabric softener and dryer sheets contain Linalool, the narcotic I mentioned in yesterday's blog with connections to a variety of CNS disorders and respiratory problems. Seventh Generation is a company who cares. Your call might make the difference.

Dryer Ball reviews

Just wondering how many of you took advantage of True Green2's free dryer ball offer. If you did, how are they working out for you?
