    I’m all for reducing harm from these toxic substances, but are there any studies showing these stances pose actual risk under normal use?

      Article only mentions that some substances were detected as present and didn’t have any information on how much was present or show a plausible method of those chemicals reaching areas of the body where they would have the effects they allege.
