Pampers baby wipes contain preservatives
In February 2016, the French consumer protection organization said that the skin care wipes produced by P & G's Pampers were used to wipe the baby's butt containing phenoxy ethanol, which is toxic to blood and liver. P & G has yet to respond to the incident.
In 2012, the French safety inspection agency suggested that the use of this preservative in baby cleaning products should be stopped.
In addition, the organization reminds consumers that they can not fully believe the fake labels of "no stimulation" and "no allergy" on product packaging. It is suggested that products containing allergen "methyl isothiazolone" (MIT) must be labeled.
What is phenoxy alcohol?
Phenoxy ethanol is often used as a preservative for skin care products and cosmetics. In recent years, it has been found that the secretion of harmful substances can inhibit the central nervous system of infants, causing vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration.According to EPA data, phenoxy ethanol can cause mutations and even testicular atrophy, and accumulate in young children to interfere with the reproductive system.
Wet wipes have been repeatedly detected containing harmful substances.
In September 15, 2014, the baby wipes in Hongkong were exposed to "methyl isothiazolone" (MIT), which could cause severe rashes in infants and young children.
In September 15, 2015, 21 samples of 50 baby wipes were detected by the Shanghai Consumer Protection Committee, and 21 antiseptic CIT and MIT were detected, including 21 common brands such as flowers, hearts, Combi and so on. Such preservatives can cause chemical burns. Extreme conditions can cause swelling, blisters and so on.
