Thanks again for signing the petition telling The Home Depot to get toxic paint stripper chemicals off its shelves! A weekend home improvement project shouldn’t expose you or your family to dangerous chemicals. Because of consumers like you speaking out, The Home Depot recently released a new chemical strategy. It includes a commitment to identify alternatives to methylene chloride in paint strippers. This is a positive step in the right direction but the company has not publicly committed to eliminate these dangerous chemicals in paint strippers anytime soon. Will you join us in telling The Home Depot that DIY shouldn’t spell danger?

We ranked 30 top retailers for their action on toxics: http://retailerreportcard.com/retailers/ The good news? Seven retailers got a B or higher! Companies like Apple, Walmart, CVS and IKEA are taking the lead. The bad news? The average grade was a D+. Nine companies are lagging behind with F’s. It’s clear that there’s still a lot of work to do! Now more than ever, we need companies to step up and tackle toxic chemicals. Cancer cases and infertility rates are soaring—and scientists agree that exposure to toxic chemicals from various sources can contribute. Plus, chemical industry insiders are running the EPA’s chemical safety office and they aren’t doing enough to regulate potentially dangerous chemicals. We’re calling on the stores where we shop to take the lead on making sure the products they sell us are safe. And our efforts are working! Because of action from consumers like you, this year companies like Target, Walmart, CVS Health, The Home Depot and Costco have announced progress tackling toxic chemicals. For example, CVS is removing chemicals like phthalates and parabens from almost 600 store brand beauty and personal care products. The Home Depot announced that it’s requiring suppliers to eliminate certain harmful chemicals from building materials such as paints, carpet and flooring. And Walmart announced plans to restrict more than 2,700 harmful chemicals in 90,000 household products! You can help make sure the progress continues.
