Say goodbye to those “antibacterial” soaps. The Food and Drug Administration says they do little or nothing to make soap work any better and said the industry has failed to prove they’re safe.
Does this apply to dentists, surgeons, and other medical personnel?
The regulations would only cover soaps and body washes used with water. Antibacterial hand sanitizers, wipes or products used in health care settings are not included in the regulations.

These cretins have to go...the lot of them.
Applies to everyone. Fortunately dentists and surgeons use effective disinfectants prior to doing their work.
Not sure what is so confusing about NO DATA supports the use of triclosan in handsoaps. No Data. So in a free market you can add hydrochloric acid to your soap. If your free market agrees to a regulatory agency to monitor for safety and efficacy it will ask for DATA to support claims for acid in your soap. If you cannot show that the acid does anything the risks of including it will mean it has to go. That's how it works.
For over 30 years these manufacturers have deflected the call for DATA and now the time is over for including these drugs and claiming they do something when they do not.
