Does the name come from Naphtha?

Or feldspar? That's what I've sometimes suspected, although neither spelling is correct. Asat (talk) 02:01, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Health Considerations" section seems relatively pointless

Of the two items it contains, one seems to be there only to state that it is no longer a health consideration, but used to be ("Outdated Health Considerations" section?) the other is referencing an MSDS... although the statement is accurate, it would make more sense if the section was titled "Health Considerations for Manufacturers". Just for fun, the MSDS for water http://www.flinnsci.com/Documents/MSDS/WXYZ/Water.pdf , with such gems as:

SECTION 4 — FIRST AID MEASURES Call a physician and seek medical attention for further treatment, observation, and support after first aid.

and

SECTION 12 — ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Data not yet available.

MSDS data generally exists for the purpose of Oh Christ, a 400 ton container of Fels-Naptha just exploded all over the highway, what do I need to know about it right now so I don't make this situation worse and not Oh here is some laundry soap in bar form that behaves like every other soap I've used in my entire life which is what normal people are thinking about when they look up health considerations.

I was tempted to delete the section and fold relevant bits into others, but then I realized I could type at least twice as much on the Talk page first and avoid any possible hurt feelings or confusion on the part of all of those millions upon millions of people who rely on this article about a specific brand of bar soap for all of their needs (oh god, should I eat it, what should I do with it? what if I have one from 70 years ago lying around, is THAT one safe to eat?).
