The holiday season is a time that most of the country engages in buying products as gifts for loved ones; pajamas, cologne, shampoo, there's no end to the gifts that are given out.
John Whelan, director of the new documentary "Stink!", says that the chemicals that are used in these and more every day products are more harmful than they at first appear.
He first began to question it one holiday season after when he decided to buy his kids pajamas from the internet. When they arrive, he says they had a distinct smell that made him worried what chemicals they had been contaminated with.
"Stink!" is in now airing in select theaters.
