A member asked:
Just read an article about a recall of deodorants containing benzene. also read benzene compounds can be found in regular laundry detergent. should i be concerned or are the levels in products such as detergent not high enough to cause harm?

In general, if a potentially toxic material is found in a commercial product, it would be recalled by the FDA if it could cause harm in the amounts typically used/consumed. I would not not be concerned about benzene in detergents.
