Take Action
Due to gaping holes in current federal law, it’s perfectly legal for companies to use unlimited amounts of virtually any ingredient – including chemicals linked to cancer, reproductive and developmental harm – in their products. Tell Congress to protect nail salon workers from harmful chemicals in products!
We need federal legislation that will protect those working in the nation’s nail salons from unsafe chemicals by restricting the use of the most harmful chemicals in salon products, requiring ingredients to be disclosed on the product’s label, and by ensuring that salon workers have basic safety information in a language they can understand.
