Surgeon General’s phosphate detergent stance draws mixed reactions
At a Friday hearing, Jensen said he would not have given the same advice to housewives who face conflicting guidance from past remarks by U S Surgeon General Jesse L Steinfeld. Steinfeld later said his warning was incompletely reported and applied mainly to households with children. He emphasized FDA labeling and that the safest detergents would carry no warning, noting phosphates are generally the safest option.
