S.C. Johnson and Sons

[melissa17]

I saw a commercial advertising S.C. Johnson products as being "more natural," claiming that they had a committment to the environment. I was hoping this would include animals as well, so I went to their website to look for animal testing. I didn't find anything and sent them an email asking them if they test any of their products or ingredients on

The name ’Johnson’ couldn’t be more appropriate.

If other companies are able to not test, then why is it they feel they are required to if "there are no reliable substitutes for many of the standard toxicology studies needed to assure consumer safety."
That seem a cop out to me when many companies are able to not test just fine. I would be their definition of no substitutes has something to do with money...ie its cheaper for them to test on animals for whatever reason. Which is total bs.

it's just a shitty excuse. They need to do their research and find out how many people have DIED from products that were found to be safe in other animals. It's kind of like how they are finding out botox actually leaks and causes neuro damage.... It was found safe in mice and rats and put out on the market. The only problem is - they forgot humans live a lot longer than 1 -5 years and that mice and rats can't predict what will happen OVER TIME.

Or the fact that mice aren't human.

my thoughts exactly . . . all animal tests really tell you is that the product is unlikely to cause instant death. I know it's been debunked, but for example the whole thing about parabens in deodorant causing breast cancer? They can't exactly shave a rabbit's armpits and apply deodorant for 20 years.

the only reason companies like johnson & johnson test on animals is to cover their asses should a lawsuit come down the line. they're not making anything that's REQUIRED to be tested on animals.

bullshit motherfuckers.

[allhope_aside]

dos

[bendtoblue]

what a load of BS!

[lady_lucifera]

Maybe you should point out that there are MANY other companies that don't test on animals, and for whatever reason, it seems to be just as effective.
