Hi Debbie,
In my opinion, this group is not a credible source of information.
I've been trying to work with them for several years and they refuse
to work with us. I have on many occasions suggested many things we
can work on together to improve salon safety, especially for the
Vietnamese community, and they don't want any part of my
recommendations or suggestions. They are a fear-based advocacy group
and I don't think they really want solutions, they want to create
fear so they can raise more money.
Notice the "make a donation" button. That's what this video is
about, scaring people into giving them money. That's how fear-based
advocacy groups work and that's one main reason why they can't be
trusted to tell the truth.
They pretend to be helping the Vietnamese community, but they're not
telling them the truth. What they are actually trying to do will end
up in destroying the livelihood of the very people they're claiming
to be working for. The name of the group is the Healthy Nail Salon
Collaborative, but they are a group that's made up of other
fear-based advocacy groups such as, the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics,
Environmental Working Group, Women's Voices, The Breast Cancer Fund.
In my opinion, none of these groups are reliable sources of
information. They exaggerate things beyond the point of credibility
and intentionally ignore the truth. I told them that Formaldehyde is
not a cosmetic ingredient, yet they continue to pretend that it is.
In my opinion, they not are interested in the truth and they don't
really care about the Vietnamese nail community or they would be
trying to improve safety training and working with manufacturers.

Subject: Re: NailTech:: 16 deaths per day
very disturbing indeed, but my biggest thought process is they never
mentioned MMA, the vapors, fumes dust from MMA to my understanding
is far more debilitating than that of the toxic soup they talk about..
I am sending this over to Doug Schoon.. I never heard of this
organization, their wen site has not been updated in 9 months or so either.
