It can be a crisis but there's no clear cause and thus, no clear action.
The large amount of possible causes is leading many people to jump onto any possible theory - from processed foods, air quality, plastic containers, vague notions of "toxins", vaccines, etc. And this leads to companies taking advantage by implying their competitor's products are bad (eg: Goop) but with little scientific backing. So it's getting hard to know the difference between scientific evidence and advertising.
California has a law on the books passed all the way in 1986 (Prop 65) which requires labeling of any toxic substance that can cause cancer or birth defects. It seems like everything has a Prop 65 warning on it, it's not quite possible to avoid it.
