"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."
