Dear Ms. Riggs:

Your email response* is deceptive at best. First, you accuse OCA of making inaccuracies during their press conference but you do so without providing any specific examples. Second, your email uses the old and tried argument that the rest of the non-organic and commercial manufacturers use all the time: "Even if our product contains such and such chemical, we don't believe that our product represents a health risk."

You can believe whatever you want. But when it comes to my money and my health, I choose to avoid all products that contain any cancer carcinogens. Third, your email states, "these products ... are not in excess of California's Proposition 65 Safe Harbor level for 1,4-dioxane." The California's Proposition 65 Safe Harbor level for 1,4-dioxane is listed at 30 micrograms per day. OCA in its study found 365 products such as the Everyday Value Dish Liquid, Everyday Value Shampoo, and Everyday Value Shower Gel to contain detectable amounts of this chemical carcinogen at 1.6, 2.2 and 20.1 micrograms per gram, respectively."
