What Procter & Gamble Doesn't Want You To Know
The Issue
http://action.earthjustice.org/campaign/cleaners_0509/
You spray them in the air, mop your floors with them and wash your clothes in them—but do you have any idea what chemicals are in the cleaners you use?
Probably not. And Procter & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive and other household cleaner giants want to keep it that way.
The companies are fighting a lawsuit under a right-to-know law requiring them to disclose the chemical ingredients in their products and the health risks they pose.
The law was put in place for a reason: studies have linked chemicals commonly found in household cleaners to asthma and reproductive abnormalities.
But these companies are refusing to give consumers the information they need to make safe choices about what products to bring into their homes.
We need your help to get them to come clean.
Tell companies that consumers should have the information the law requires: a full list of chemical ingredients and information about their health impacts.
Some manufacturers, like SC Johnson and Sunshine Makers, have agreed to file ingredient reports as required by the law. But Procter & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive, Church and Dwight, and Reckitt-Benckiser are stubbornly refusing.
Please tell these companies people deserve to know whether the products they use to wash their dishes, launder their clothes, and clean their homes could be harmful.
With your help, we can get consumers the information they need to protect themselves and their families.
