RE: Docket # 99P-1340/CP-1

To whom it may concern:

I would like to support the recent petition to put warnings on fragrances that they have not been safety tested as the law provides.

I have had serious reactions to perfumes such as asthma, heart palpitations over 200 pulse(which have sent me to the emergency ward) and other frightening experiences. I believe all fragrances should be subject to safety testing being that there is a high volume of it out in the public. There are many people like myself who are allergic to these fragrances and we need to be protected. I do not wish to carry an oxygen tank with me all the time but because of the prevalence of all these untested fragrances I have to. I urge the FDA not to let another fragrance on the market without testing and to scrupulously test the ones that are already out there. I would also like to see many of them banned.

Sincerely,

Diana Jackson
