The top-selling over the counter hemorrhoid remedy, Preparation H, contains shark liver oil as a moisturizing agent. Tell Pfizer to give sharks a break by replacing shark liver oil with one or more plant-based ingredients from the FDA's "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS) list. Such a replacement would not only help sharks, who are rapidly becoming threatened the world over, but negate the "need" for any animal testing of the reformulated products.

As a leading name brand, the reformulation of the Preparation H line could set off a chain reaction resulting in the reformulation of similar generic and store-brand products that mimic Preparation H ingredient for ingredient; at present, this means that nearly all of them contain shark liver oil.
