eight nothing to worry about here with generics well the noose around the du ponts genetics chemicals unfolding the exact way that their c. eight cancer story unfolded not only are we learning that this new genetics chemical is causing cancer and reproductive problems but the company was fully aware of these dangers and did let the public know about it du pont's filed sixteen reports of substantial risk of injury to or help to the environment over genetics these reports though were filed with the e.p.a. during two thousand and six and two thousand and thirteen. under section eight of the toxic substances control act that specific section of the law says that if a company is involved in the manufacture of a chemical and they have information that reasonably supports the conclusion that the substance presents a substantial risk of injury to health of the environment then they have to inform the e.p.a. so just seven years the company had to file sixteen reports on the toxicity of the chemical that they told both regulators and the public was much safer nothing to worry about no problems
