SEATTLE, April 13, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Attorney Advertising. Keller

Rohrback L.L.P. (www.krclassaction.com) announces its investigation of certain

popular baby shampoos and other products that may contain toxic ingredients,

according to a recent study by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a national

coalition of nonprofit health and environmental organizations. Although the

companies manufacturing and marketing these products call them " gentle " and

" pure, " dozens of top-selling children's bath products are contaminated with the

cancer-causing chemicals formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane, according to the March

2009 Campaign for Safe Cosmetics report, " No More Toxic Tub. "

This study is the first to document the widespread presence of both formaldehyde

and 1,4-dioxane in bath products for children, including baby shampoos, bubble

baths and baby lotions. Many products tested contained both chemicals. Among the

most contaminated products are:

* 's Baby Shampoo;

* Sesame Street Bubble Bath;

* Grins & Giggles Milk & Honey Baby Wash (Gerber);

* Huggies Baby Wash;

* L'Oreal Kids;

* Mustela;

* Suave Kids;

* Baby Magic Baby Lotion; and

* American Girl shower products.

purchased these or similar products, we would be happy to speak with you.

According to attorney Lynn Lincoln Sarko, a longtime advocate for consumers:

" There is absolutely no need for children's products to contain cancer-causing

ingredients when perfectly safe alternatives exist. It is outrageous to think

that instead of bathing their children in soap, parents are actually bathing

them in formaldehyde. "
