When people use dryer sheets, they are coating their cloths with a thin film of artificial chemical perfumes. Just like other perfumes, a person’s sensitivity to these perfumes decreases over time to the point where they don’t even notice how potent these artificial fragrance chemicals are. Nearly every chemical that touches the skin finds its way into the body and into the bloodstream. As a result, wearing toxic fragrance chemicals is actually quite similar to eating them. These toxic chemicals would never, of course, be approved as safe food ingredients due to their toxicity. Many are registered as EPA toxins. Nearly all are listed in the government RTECS database of toxic chemicals This means that these fragrance products contain not just one cancer causing agent but potentially dozens. That’s why using dryer sheets or even laundry detergent with fragrance is extremely bad for your health. This is a quote from this website...http://www.newstarget.com/002693.html Hope it helps ;) None of this would be interesting if it weren’t for the fact that these fragrance chemical are extremely toxic chemicals. They are known carcinogens. They cause liver damage and cancer in mammals.

The only reason I`ve heard not to use them on baby clothes is that it takes away the fire retardent on clothes,but I hate static cling so I just double check my smoke alarms every month.

I`d say yes. Dryer sheets just put a thin coating of oils on the fabric to prevent static build-up. Here`s some free advice though- don`t use dryer sheets on towels. The oils make them less absorbent. :)
