We all have them around the home, products like baby oil, suntan lotion and motor oil. Today, the Consumer Product Safety Commission voted unanimously to require caps on most common oily household items. Charles and Teresa Bryson pushed for new regulations because of the tragedy that struck the family. Their son Jaden got his hands on baby oil and drank some of it. The Bryson's aren't sure how much, but it was enough to put Jaden in the hospital. Twenty-Eight days later he died from chemical pneumonia. He's not alone! According to Ann Brown from the Consumer Product Safety Commission Hydrocarbons are terrifically dangerous products in the home. Anything that contains hydrocarbons that children can ingest and aspirate in the lungs. There have been five deaths, many hospital emergency room injuries. Baby oil is just one example of a hydrocarbon. Others found in the home are, suntan oil, eye makeup remover and gasoline additives. The Consumer Product Safety Commission is now mandating all of those products and others classified as hydrocarbons come with child resistant caps. The caps we all have come to expect from over-the-counter drugs. "Child resistant caps are enormously effective to keep children under five away from household chemicals and poisons and anything with any cosmetics that could be dangerous to children" Says Brown. The Bryson's say finally something is being done. Teresa says, "We can't have our son back but if other people are aware, other parents, let them know it's dangerous to have it in a locked cabinet. Put the caps on it. I'll feel real good about that." The new packaging requirements take effect in about a year.

Arbonne International offers New & Improved ABC Oil Cap 
 November 20, 2002   

The cap on the Arbonne Baby Care Body Oil has changed. You will now see a new child-resistant cap on our Baby Oil. This change is due to a new FDA regulation that applies to non-emulsion-type liquid drugs and cosmetics. The cap is easy to manipulate for adults yet difficult for children. 
It's a safeguard we know parents will appreciate. 

Arbonne does not use any petroeum or mineral oil based ingredients in their products.
