Researcher Anne Stienemann found hundreds of unlabeled toxic and carcinogenic chemicals in 6 common laundry products and air fresheners. These products emit some substances listed on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) list for chemicals with no safe exposure. As such they may lead to multiple chemical sensitivity, environmental illness, asthma, and other illnesses.
