Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families
20 nov 2017
Thanks to you, Kroger and Albertsons both recently revealed that they’ve made meaningful progress in reducing the use of BPA in their store brand food can linings. This is great news! BUT neither company has disclosed a timeframe or plan for completely eliminating BPA and ensuring that substitutes are safe.
Will you join us in telling these companies that we deserve better?

For more information about what Kroger, Albertsons and other stores are doing to address toxic chemicals in their products and packaging, check out our brand new report card. 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!
