FYI -
I know that many of you follow the saga of the chemical Triclosan.
Yesterday, a Consent Decree was signed in US District Court of NY between the Natural Resources Defense Council and US Food & Drug Administration.
Here is the link to the press release by NRDC:  http://www.nrdc.org/media/2013/131122.asp
If you have BNA access, here is their summary: http://esweb.bna.com/eslw/1245/split_display.adp?fedfid=38333168&vname=dennotallissues&wsn=497855500&searchid=21552351&doctypeid=2&type=date&mode=doc&split=0&scm=1245&pg=0

I have a copy of the Consent Decree, but I haven't found a public link to it yet. [I'd attach it, but we can't attach links in this Listserver.]
