There is a legitimate role for government regulation in policing the marketplace and prohibiting harmful substances and products from being sold to consumers as if they are beneficial. In this instance, the chemical triclosan, which is widely used for its anti-bacterial effects, also seems to be an endocrine disruptor in both people and wildlife. Call me old-fashioned, but, even if it takes a federal rule, I prefer that America’s boys and girls develop normally and that as adults their junk be in proper form and fully functional.

“Old fashioned” isn’t someone calling for a federal rule. That is “progressive”.

Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution doesn't give the Federal government that power.

That should be a police power of the States.

Put the fed back in the Constitutional box it came in.
