"Safe" by US standards means no ill effects on a grown health heavy weight man. The US government fails to provide standards of chemical and environmental safety for women and children. Chemicals levels and compounds that will not injure a man, can kill a young child. These dangerous products are used in homes and salons on children without any warning or regulation. Children are also exposed when they accompany adults to salons or are near use of these products. Few people bother to read warnings on packaging, which is not enough. If the product cannot be safe for children, they should be removed from the market or users should be subjected to regulation and enforcement. http://sfbayview.com/2012/skin-deep-in-more-ways-than-one/ African-American and

that are commonly referred to as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs),
which have been linked to various reproductive effects and birth
defects, breast cancer and heart disease. -- “Racial/Ethnic Differences in Hormonally-Active Hair
