According to a recent article on Happi.com, newly seated Senator Al Franken has introduced a bill that calls for complete and full ingredient listings for household products. I am really happy to hear this and hope it passes. Just a few days ago I was in the kitchen using this new “environmentally friendly” dishwashing detergents, feeling slightly bitter that and cynical that I have to put trust to the manufacturer to be honest with all ingredient listings. Something akin to trusting the wolf to watch the sheep.

From the article… “One-time funny man and now a first-term senator from Minnesota Al Franken is taking on the household product industry by introducing legislation that would require household cleaning products to carry labels with a complete list of ingredients.

The Household Product Labeling Act, the second piece of legislation introduced by Sen. Franken (D-MN), would expand existing labeling requirements.”
