Get a Dangerous Pesticide Out of Kids' Shampoo

Lindane is nasty stuff. This highly toxic pesticide is a suspected carcinogen and a threat to nervous and hormone systems in human beings. Most industrialized countries have abandoned lindane, and the U.S. has banned it for many uses, including on pets. But, astonishingly, shampoos containing lindane are still used on children with lice -- even though safe, effective alternatives are available. Join the Pesticide Action Network in calling for the U.S. to outlaw the pouring of this poison on our kids -- and to outlaw all other uses of lindane as well.
