NC advocates call on Tillis to defend consumer watchdog
SUMMARY: Small business owner Dr. Ashley Gaddy Robbins emphasized the importance of preserving the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) at a May 29 press conference outside Senator Thom Tillis’s Raleigh office. North Carolina has developed one of the nation’s strongest consumer advocacy networks, deterring predatory lenders through bipartisan support. These efforts helped inspire the creation of the CFPB after the Great Recession. However, President Trump and House Republicans seek to weaken or abolish the agency, targeting protections against financial scams. Activists and business owners urged Senator Tillis to defend the CFPB and prioritize North Carolinians over billionaires.

SUMMARY: Gel nail polishes were recently banned in the EU due to the chemical TPO, which helps the gel harden under UV light. Concerns stem from studies showing potential reproductive risks in rats fed TPO, but humans aren’t exposed this way. The margin of exposure calculated for TPO is very high (1,515), suggesting it’s safe for people. More significant risks come from UV light used to cure nails, which may contribute to skin cancer over time. To stay safe, consider applying sunscreen before your salon visit and discuss toxin-free polish options with your aesthetician. Ultimately, balanced caution is key.
Certain gel nail polishes are no longer widespread in Europe as a chemical was banned due to potential health risks with long-term exposure. But a closer look at the study prompts some questions.
