It's just overhype on scientific facts. Pretty much everything we do has some level of "danger" to it.

Hahaha...I got to the infertility part and couldn't read on because it was too funny.

What are we coming to?? Some people are so fussy.

So when you rock up to BP and spray the new car smell perfume into your car.. There are really seats and a dashboard in those tanks? Who'dathunkenit.

I reckon that this is a case of it not not making you sick.

Looks like you leather owners will die first.

Chromium is another clandestine inclusion if you upgrade to leather. Commonly used in tanning to soften hides and stabilise colour, it is an allergen shown to cause infertility in tests on rats. A 2005 Japanese study of 101 Japanese cars found greater air pollution in luxury cars, which the study attributed to extensive interior leather trim.

get some oc120 or any apc and spray your carpets, it'll eat the smell.

any proper deodoriser will eliminate the smell so you wont smell plastics!
