How do I avoid this problem? The first way is I use only natural and organic soaps and washes and even then I still read the ingredient list carefully to be sure I know everything that is in it such as Dr. Bronner’s . Secondly for bar soaps, I make my own cold-process goats milk soaps with added essential oils for complete control over the ingredients.

yuk!
I avoid the issue by not washing my kids.
I feel bad for the mom who found my site by googling : child ate kandoo soap. Poor mom, poor kid. :)
Cheap soap is just that - cheap soap. Just because its geared to kids (i.e. Dora, Sesame Street characters) does not mean its good for them. Its ridiculous what crap they think is ok to soak with children. I've been using Method Bubble Bath with Mayson - so far I think its good. I think I've seen Baby Magic in almost all of the blogs and lists of bad ingredients. To think I used that at one point makes me sick.
I unfortunatly used several of these ove rthe years but most disturbing to me is that the NICU gave me Johnson and Johnson to put on my three pound baby. I think the ratio of formaldehyde to body weight is pretty bad then
