Well i would try an opt for the education bit if i thought it would
work but as i know through other contacts more about the supplier
then i know this is not gonna work....i educate people everyday about
the dangers of ppd and black hennas. What i was trying to stress and
didnt have a lot of time to do it is that this is such an ISSUE to
people that they sometimes take out their frustration and perhaps
anger at the suppliers of. This would indeed be damaging.

By going after this company legally it would set a precident which
anyone throughout the EEC could use...okay perhaps may not be fair to
the persons behind this particular company to use them in this way
but this is a dangerous product and 99% of the cases that come to my
studio for help are the worried parents of innocent children that
have been burnt and scarred for life.

This is perhaps the opportunity that will set the legal stance in the
UK and Europe to squash the black henna trade.

I wasnt asking you or anyone else to stop educating I was concerned
that perhaps some of the emails sent would contain anger and
frustration which they could well do as peoples emotions on this can
run very high im sure you agree.

This would possibly endanger any legal stance taken against them.

As ive said i educate tens of people per week - every week. Dont stop
educating we are all doing a good job.
