      What? This stuff is in soaps and plastics? Wow this stuff is everywhere.

      Is this list all products effected or the products that have no known replacement?

          Well, then I don’t think it makes sense for an immediate blanket ban on it.

          I suspect the best path forward is to set maximum limits and slowly adjust those down over time. I really don’t think we want to continue to be inundated with carcinogens.
