 My wife and I have both used Hydroquinone in "over-the-counter' preparations for several years.   Neither have had any adverse reactions.  I personally know at least 10 other people who have had similarly good experiences.   From all I've read on this subject, the percentage of adverse reactions is extremely small.   

As an VERY active voter and equally concerned citizen, I am becoming increasingly aggravated with the FDA's position on matters such as this. I see absolutely no reason why the FDA should take any action against these preparations.   The AADA recommends the FDA leave this alone.   I agree.
