The FDA first proposed that the chemical Triclosan be removed from consumer products in 1978, in reaction to several studies that showed it to be an endocrine disruptor, with potential dangerous effects on development and reproduction. They took no further action. In 1997, they approved Colgate Total for market, even though it contained Triclosan. The NRDC filed to see the paperwork for this approval under FOIA. The FDA has failed to comply, and now the NRDC is suing the FDA. Let's just hope it doesn't take another 35 years for the FDA to start regulating the potentially dangerous chemical. The Resident (aka Lori Harfenist) discusses.
