Should you be using that hand soap? Is that detergent toxic? Can that dish soap cause cancer? AHHHH!
Cleaning products are packed with toxic chemicals, check out the list to see if your products are on it. This week the Environmental Working Group released its 2012 Guide to Healthy Cleaning, a list of more than 2,000 household cleaning products that are graded according to health safety.
On the ‘F’ list: Method dish soap in fresh currant, which got dinged for colorants that can cause damage to DNA and carry a risk for cancer; and Clorox Clinging Bleach Gel toilet bowl cleaner, for which there was a high concern of sodium hypochlorite causing skin irritation and allergies.
See the whole list here. You can even type in what you have on your shelf so you can ditch it.

Potter is upset because I'm ruining this story - sorry, it's just cute marketing.
Everyone is annoyed by screaming babies on a plane. I'm a mom and it still makes my skin crawl and I've been there. An UNNAMED [I'm not giving them more publicity] airline put a note and candy in ziplock bags and put them on every seat on a recent flight.
The note read: “Hello! We're twin baby boys on our first flight and we're only 14 weeks old! We'll try to be on our best behavior, but we'd like to apologize in advance just in case we lose our cool, get scared or our ears hurt. Our mom and dad (AKA our portable milk machine and our diaper changer) have ear plugs available if you need them. We are all sitting in 20E and 20F if you want to come by to get a pair. We hope you have a great flight!”
The family was hired by the UNNAMED airline to drum up some good press.
Look, it's just like reality TV, it's still a cute story.
