Petition Remove Parabens,Artificial Colour,Flavour & Preservatives from Infant Medication

Make all pharmaceutical companies removed parabens, all artificial colours, flavours and preservatives currently found in liquid medications, primarily used by parents for young children and especially babies. Babies should definitely not be exposed to parabens in this way.

More details

Parabens have been proven to adversely affect the reproductive systems in rats and have no place in childrens medications

There is evidence that parabens and para- hydroxybenzoic acid may act as oestrogenic endocrine disruptors. Source below:
