If you're wearing wrinkle-free clothing, chances are they have been treated with formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is a chemical commonly used in embalming. It is an allergen that can also irritate your eyes, mucous membranes (eyes, nose and throat) and the upper respiratory system. It can also cause headaches, rashes, hives (blistery, white, and itchy), dizziness, nausea, and chronic fatigue. Some other symptoms include: heart palpitations, ear infections, trouble sleeping, memory loss, trouble focusing, depression, weakness, migraines, abdominal pain, aching joints and muscles, and difficulty breathing. It is a carcinogen, which means it is known to cause cancer and companies are allowing it to be used in making clothing. This petition was created to urge clothing companies to stop using formaldehyde in their clothing or at the very least, label it so consumers can decide for themselves if they want a cancer-causing chemical constantly touching their skin.
