I was just reading an article in the Dailey Telegraph about a recall of clothing coloured with cancer causing dye. Bedding retailer pillow talk also recalled items coloured with 'azo dyes' known to break down into carcinogenic chemicals. These items have been imprted from a chinese importer.

Your thread about your sheets concerns me.

This is the story in The Australian.

Yes, I quite understand that. I've often wondered if by that they mean food additives, I must admit I've never thought of dyes before. Though I have read that hair dye can increase the risk.

Freddie, thanks for your concern ❤️
I read the article and it is disturbing !!

So, what do I do now? 😞 it's a worry, it's not like I can afford to simply toss them out, how can I find out if my sheets are safe??

These are the recalled products, no sheets amongst them.

Must check my daughters wardrobe for the Just Jeans jeans though

I read all the labels for frozen vegetables.....which can be quite misleading.  

a recent cut and paste.

Chinese frozen vegetables are coming into New Zealand, getting re-labelled as 'made in New Zealand' - perhaps they are put in a new plastic bag in New Zealand - then they come across (to Australia) under the Closer Economic Relationship, the CER, and because it says 'Made in New Zealand' we get very slack about significantly upping the ante in checking for chemical residues and other contaminants as that product comes into Australia, and it's so cheap comparatively

Not surprised about the NZ veggies, bought some when the usual Aussie ones were out of stock. They were awful in every way and I did not understand why. Never again. Thanks for posting that.
