RE: [CEHMO] Pb in lipstick

[Guest guest]

I sent an email to of Snopes.com he responded with a link to a so

called article from a Rph stating that all cosmetics have labeling on them

and he CITED the regualtion that we are trying to get enformced LOL Talk

about ironic. I sent him all the info on the FDA petition, EPA TOp 20

Chems etc.

I fully expect he is going to remove it from his *urban legend* page.

As there is nothing to prove that Pb is not used as a trade secret!
