POOPH Inc. has announced the establishment of a new organization named G-P.O.O.P.H., which stands for Get Poisons Out Of People’s Homes. This organization is designated as a 501(c)(3) and aims to advocate for consumer safety regarding potentially harmful chemicals and fragrances in everyday products.
The POOPH Pet Odor Eliminator is highlighted as a product that is safe for pets, people, plants, and the environment. Jordan Stanley, Chairman of the G-P.O.O.P.H. Foundation, stated, “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.” The foundation intends to support both legislative and private sector initiatives to reduce public exposure to hazardous substances commonly found in consumer goods.
Research published by the National Library of Medicine indicates that the use of fragranced products is linked to various adverse health effects, including migraine headaches, respiratory difficulties, and neurological issues. According to the study, 98.3% of individuals are exposed to fragranced products weekly, and many are unaware of the potential dangers associated with these items. Notably, 72.6% of participants did not realize that even products labeled as “natural” or “organic” might emit harmful air pollutants like formaldehyde.
Stanley also noted that fragrance chemicals often consist of numerous undisclosed compounds, with 64.6% of respondents unaware that complete ingredient disclosure is not required. Furthermore, 60% of the general population indicated they would avoid using fragranced products if they were informed about the hazardous pollutants they release.
The fragrance-free POOPH product is marketed as a leading option in its category, available online and in approximately 40,000 retail locations across the nation. Stanley emphasized the organization’s commitment to promoting safe alternatives and advocating for transparency in product labeling. He stated, “POOPH is doing its part to get the poisons out of people’s homes—and we’re determined to do more.” G-P.O.O.P.H. aims to raise awareness of existing safe products that may not be well-known due to limited marketing resources from their manufacturers.
