This has been in the news lately:
http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm378393.htm
Even reported in the local media:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-03/us-fda-bans-chemicals-in-anti-bacterial-hand-soap/7812182
Will Australian also look at this from a regulatory view? Maybe some of the concerned professional bodies (eg including ACIPC) should have a joint position paper on this?
Discussion?
Cheers
