      DES was prescribed until 1971 in this country. When it was found to cause cancer in humans, it was used with cattle.

      That's right: when a med sold to pregnant women was found harmful, it was marketed to the FOOD PRODUCTION INDUSTRY. Exposure continued.

      The FDA outlawed use of DES by humans in 1971. It was sold in veterinarian market until 1979. Eight additional years of human exposure.

      Anyone (no matter what gender or sex) born between 1938-1971 should take this self-assessment for DES exposure: https://www.cdc.gov/des/consumers/guide/index.html …

      Not all women who were exposed to DES during pregnancy knew. Just look at the LONG list of related drugs: https://www.cdc.gov/des/consumers/about/history.html …

      There is NO "FREE MARKET" mechanism to ensure consumer safety. NONE. We have seen corporations lie, deny, and litigate OVER and OVER again.
