I feel betrayed by the Colgate-Palmolive Company, and by the government regulators who are paid well to protect the public and the ecosystems of our beleaguered planet to be exposed to dangerous chemicals like triclosan.

I was shocked to discover that my bottle brush was antibacterial, so I looked up Microban online, and their website denies that their product could be harmful at all or create resistance. Thank you for pointing out that these could be false claims! I will be aware now!

As usual... I feel the FDA is an out-of-control, useless, government agency, with serious conflict of intrest corporate funding, and leadership from corporate influence. I am hoping the Obama administration addresses these shortcomings in the near future so once again the American public can be assurred the protection from corporate greed that they deserve.

Comments:
I just happened to stuble upon this website as I was looking at various job boards and I was attracted to your homepage heading on Triclosan. I remembered seeing the ingredient on my toothpaste label and I immediately grabbed it for validation. I cant believe that I have been consuming this product internally for the last 3 months. For a person with digestive problems this is very unsettling information. Its time to switch to Toms label! I will read up on any side effects or recalls of this toothpaste and be more careful when purchasing products from discount markets such as Grocery Outlet and Big Lots. Thanks!

I will be more aware of looking at the ingredients list of products before I buy them. I am most concerned about triclosan being an endocrine disruptor. Do we know how long it takes for our body to get rid of this chemical?

I don't like the fact that I just discovered this about these items my husband has purchased because I've been keeping triclosan out of my household. However, I was not aware that it can be in clothing as well as plastic products. I try to keep an organic household due to immune system issues myself. My husband just bought these 5 boxer shorts and 1 undershirt to work in (he's a UPS driver) because these clothing items are told to wick away moisture. We've just spent over $100 for these items. We probably won't be able to return them since he has washed them once already. Is there something we can do to make the Microban in these clothing items inert and also not affect my husbands health? I've called and left a message for Kathleen Dolan today in hopes to get a positive response to this question. Thanks for your help.

I have always avoided antibacterial products in general for the reasons you've listed, and I used to use tom's of maine toothpaste. however, in 2004 my dentist told me I had some low-level gingivitis problems, and urged me to switch to the colgate total care. had I known how particularly harmful triclosan is, I would have questioned him further about my options. now I'm looking for a natural toothpaste w/ tea tree oil, or something else that will act as a natural antiseptic.
