Don't want to sound like I'm ragging on Txilar - the article was
great, but I think that this deserves a mention here, too...

"p-Phenylenediamine (PPD) is an aromatic amine compound used in
almost every hair colour dye on the market, regardless of brand,
except the blonde and lighter colours. That is to say almost all
hair colours, except light colours, contain PPD." - Txilar's article

About two months ago, I specifically checked my mom's latest box of
Feria hair dye - light ash blonde, by the way - for PPD in the
ingredients, and there it was.

Yes, light hair dyes can, and /do/ contain PPD, or at the very least
Feria does.

Always, *always* check. I hate hair dyes anyway - the ammonia &
peroxide reaction alone is only a shade less horrible than PPD.
