"As an emergency physician who has treated countless cases
of
accidental poisonings and exposures to dangerous products, I disagree
with the contention that animal tests are necessary to determine the
safety of cosmetics and household products. Animal tests do not protect
consumers from unsafe products. In my 15 years as an emergency
physician, I have never found the results of an animal test to be of any
benefit in guiding the treatment of patients who have been poisoned."
