The European Chemicals Agency listed 7 substances of concern in their report on which chemicals should only be used with "specific authorisation". Several websites are reporting that all 7 are in fabric softener. In fact only 1, musk xylene, is used in fabric softener-- as a fragrance enhancer. While this doesn't mean fabric softener is safe, it does mean that some of the hoopla being created around the web is overblown.
