This is WHY we choose to buy our products from a responsible manufacturer that does not use harsh chemicals of any kind.
Think before you buy any product on store shelves just because it’s on sale or because you like the commercial you see on TV. There are NO government regulations on any of these types of products… that is just wrong. We are given a false sense of security by creative marketing. Buyer beware!
