I don't want to be a kazillionaire. But I do think it's important for the show to be held accountable for fraudulent reporting. It's been my understanding for the entirety of my career that acetone has long been deemed safe for use in removal of nail polish and nail products and should not cause health concerns for anyone in the salon when used as intended. Natural nails are not made of Styrofoam. And, as I pointed out, there are many substances that dissolve in various solutions ie, sugar in water. Dr. Oz's "demonstration" was ludicrous, at best. Misleading at least, and defamatory at worst. I don't care if he has an audience and/or following that is sufficient to do significant damage to our industry, I care that he recklessly misinformed his audience. If even one person who saw that show now believes that acetone will "melt" the nails off their hands because of what he did/said on the show, damage was done. It's irresponsible reporting and I believe the show and Dr. Oz need to be held accountable for it. Does anyone have a lawyer? We don't need to file a lawsuit (although it's entirely possible that an "unfair competition" suit might apply) but a well-worded letter from a VERY serious source might result in some back-peddling.
