The basis for this claim is finding 1,4-dioxane in
these products, which plaintiffs incorrectly assert
is evidence for petroleum-based ingredients in these
products. However, certain natural raw materials
widely used in cosmetics, such as kaolin clay,
naturally contain 1,4-dioxane.

This lawsuit may mean the end of Dr. Bronner's,
once the countersuits are filed and won. And won
they most surely will be, unless the defendants
leave their defense to idiots.
