Call the Manufacturers: We Want Toxic Cleaners Clearly Labeled!
On September 23, join women and men across the country to call on the cleaning products industry to reveal their hidden ingredients.
You deserve to know if there are toxic chemicals in your cleaning products. For the last year Women’s Voices for the Earth (WVE) has been working directly with manufacturers and industry representatives to get this critical information to the public:
- Read the first letter from WVE: First request to cleaning companies
- Read the responses from the companies: Company responses
- Read the second request from WVE: Second request from companies
- Read Household Hazards, highlighting two health risks associated with chemicals in cleaning products, asthma and reproductive harm.
Because no laws exist requiring cleaning product companies to disclose their ingredients, we still don’t know if the products we use every day will cause long-term health impacts.
