Guest guest Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Since someone posted this to another group, I figured I'd disburse it. Will Valentine’s Day Result in a Heartbreak PregnancyOver Angel Perfume? The National Toxic Encephalopathy Foundation (NTEF) suspects a correlation. Since the filing of the NTEF’s citizen’s petition to the FDA, we have receivedemails from mothers who have had issues with their pregnancy and suspectedtheir use of Angel Perfume might have been a factor. During a conference call with Hansen, Ph.D, Senior Scientist and Katz, M.D., MPH, FDA Director, the NTEF discussed the possiblecorrelation between abnormal pregnancies and Angel Perfume. The FDA is inreceipt of the emails from women who also suspected this correlation. The FDAis now looking into these new health concerns. The NTEF suspects that the incorporation of chemicals such as Coumarin andBenzophenone-2, in concert with Linalool, Citral, Isoeugenol, ButylphenylMethylpropional can be the culprits. We have reports of miscarriages, stillbirths and hemorrhaging for no apparentreason. Infant autopsies have been performed and were inconclusive. The NTEF doesnot believe that toxicological panels were run for the chemicals that wesuspect. Most toxicological tests test for drugs rather than for specific chemicals, especially if the chemicals wereunknown at the time of testing. Since 2006, the only two tests provided by Clarins, showed that there was aconcerted effort to exclude pregnant women from the dermal assault test. Thiswas conducted by on Laboratory in New Jersey claiming that the test was arandom sampling of subjects. In fact,the test subjects were intentionally prescreened. There has been novalid toxicological testing to confirm the safety of this product duringpregnancy. “The toxicological testing that was done on Angel Perfume was accomplished intissue culture using re-constituted cornea. This is a substantial difference inthe test results with respect to toxic effects to either animals or humansâ€. Inaddition, such testing cannot be equated to women who are pregnantâ€, said Dr.Jack D. Thrasher, Ph.D., Toxicologist, Immuno-toxicologist, Fetal-toxicologistand Technical Director of the NTEF. We are therefore, asking for anyone whohad unique problems during pregnancy and used Angel Perfume during gestation, please contact ourfoundation. The NTEF is seeking to do a preliminary study to see if thiswarrants further widespread investigation. Until such time, the NTEF is advising pregnant women to discuss the chemicalmake-up of Angel Perfume with their physician, along with the findings we havecompiled.
