Danger, Warning Caution -- What do They Mean?

You know those Danger, Warning and Caution labels on products? Do you know exactly what they mean? You might be surprised.  

These labels can be found on soaps, lotions, cleaning products, toothpaste, mouthwash, laundry supplies, shampoos, conditioners and many other everyday consumables.


You might just want to re-think products with these labels because there ARE sensible & simple alternatives! 

DANGER means that the chemical is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Ingestion of a small taste to a teaspoon could kill an average sized adult.

WARNING means that the chemical is harmful if swallowed. Ingestion of a teaspoon to an ounce could kill an average sized adult.

CAUTION means that the chemical is harmful if swallowed.  Ingestion of an ounce to a pint could kill an average adult.

"Five to ten million household poisonings are reported every year.

Many of these poisonings are fatal, and most of the victims are children."

Debra Lynn Dadd, author "The Nontoxic Home and Office

Whether accidental poisoning or serious disease, the choices that we make in our homes regarding household products can have a deadly impact on long-term health for our family members, especially our children.

Cancer Causing Ingredients in Children's Products

This is exactly what we have been teaching for 6 years now.
Do not trust manufacturers to be looking out for your best interest -- they DO NOT.
This is exactly why I shop with a company that has a Mission Statement laser focused on making lives better, healthier and safer and a 25 year record of putting wellness first.

Maybe more people will take notice since this is increasingly hitting the mainstream.

But, be assured and forewarned that unscrupulous manufacturers will "jump on the bandwagon" and try to peddle their goods as safer.  In fact, it is already being done. Case in point - Clorox.

"Non-Toxic" Makes us Feel Safe

Products that kill 50% of lab animals can still be called "non-toxic".

That is really the important fact in a nutshell! For the full post and source- click here. Here is the complete quote:

"The government has very limited power to regulate manufacturers . . . in fact, one of their criteria is that products that kill 50% of lab animals through ingestion or inhalation can still receive the federal regulatory designation ‘non-toxic’. "

"Non-toxic" makes us feel safe. This could very well be a false sense of security! Find companies you can trust and learn to read labels.

We can all take one step at a time towards better health and wellness - towards protecting our families and our children.
