You'd expect to see these warnings on a barrel of hazardous waste. In fact, they're in the fine print of labels of everyday household cleaners or on their websites and obscure technical disclosures. In a ground-breaking initiative to uncover the truth about toxic chemicals in common household products, the Environmental Working Group has unearthed compelling evidence that hundreds of cleaners, even some of those hyped as "green" or "natural," can inflict serious harm on unwary users. Many present severe risks to children who may ingest or spill them or breathe their fumes.

Oh come on warph don't ya know its safe!  The Organic people say its so.  THey deny the fact that 50% of the chemicals they use on the produce and foodstuffs they produce( Yes i said chemicals they use)  are toxic and carcenogenic and the other 50% have never been tested to find out what is in them that can be harmful.

Oh and they get militant when you suggest their organic pesticides/herbicides/fungicides are toxic. They proudly and adamantly flaunt that Government approved label for oganic whatever.   

Curb your politician.  We have leash laws you know.
