Leading Pet Product Company Establishes Foundation Advocating Toxin-Free Household Products

HUNTINGTON, N.Y., Feb. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- POOPH^® Inc. announced today the formation of POOPH's  Consumer Advocacy Organization,  "G-P.O.O.P.H." —a 501(c)(3) named for its mission to Get Poisons Out Of People's Homes.

"Consumers have had it with all the chemicals, fragrances and food additives they're exposed to in the products they use every day—and now they are pushing government and manufacturers to take action", said G-P.O.O.P.H. Foundation Chairman Jordan Stanley. "G-P.O.O.P.H. was established to support legislative and private sector initiatives to limit the public's exposure to potentially dangerous fragrances and chemicals found in countless consumer products".

In a study conducted on the exposures and effects of emissions, published by the National Library of Medicine¹, fragranced products were associated with a range of adverse health effects--including migraine headaches, contact dermatitis, asthma attacks, respiratory difficulties, neurological and cognitive problems, gastrointestinal problems, immune system problems, as well as cardiovascular and musculoskeletal problems.

Citing the same exposure and emissions study, Stanley revealed these additional sobering facts:

• 98.3% of the population is exposed to fragranced products at least once a week
• 72.6% were not aware that even so-called "natural", "green" and "organic" fragranced products typically emit hazardous air pollutants such as formaldehyde
• 46.4% of respondents were not aware that a fragrance in a product is typically a chemical mixture of several dozen to several hundred chemicals
• 64.6% were not aware that fragrance chemicals do not need to be fully disclosed on a product's label or material safety data sheet
• 60% of the general population would not be using a fragranced product if they knew it emitted hazardous pollutants

"Fragrance-free POOPH®, made in the U.S. and sold online and in nearly 40,000 stores nationwide, is the fastest growing product of its kind--representing proof that a product can be safe for people, and pets, while actually achieving the highest standards of performance," said Mr. Stanley. "POOPH® is doing its part to get the poisons out of people's homes—and we're determined to do more. We support federal and state efforts to mandate full disclosure of all potentially dangerous fragrances and chemicals on labels, so people know what they're signing on for when they use them," said Jordan Stanley.

G-P.O.O.P.H. will also support safe yet effective product alternatives," said Mr. Stanley. "There may already be safe and effective products out there that few people know about because the companies that make them do not have the resources and know-how to create broad-based consumer awareness. G-P.O.O.P.H. can help put them on the consumer's radar."
