New health hazards at salons and spas

New health hazards at salons and spas - CNN.com

What she didn't expect: two hours of burning eyes and a sore throat.

"The stylist offered me goggles because my eyes stung and I couldn't stop coughing," says Spunt, 32.

She was shocked to learn that the treatment likely contained formaldehyde -- deemed a possible human carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
