The Natural Resources Defense Council has taken legal action against the FDA for letting companies use the chemicals triclosan and triclocarban in soaps. Mae Wu is a lawyer with the group.
I think its a great first step!
But for soap industry representatives say they do not understand the FDA proposal. In a statement, the Personal Care Products Council says it has already given in-depth data to the government. It says the information shows that antibacterial soaps are more effective in killing germs when compared with non-antibacterial soap. It also says the soaps do not add to resistance of antibiotic drugs.
Sandra Kweder is the deputy director of the FDA. She says her agencys move is an attempt to learn the benefits of using antibacterial products and their possible risks. If the proposed rule is approved, soap manufacturers would have to carry out studies showing their products are safe and more effective than plain soap.
If approved, Ms. Kweder expects the rule would take effect in 2016.
