Dear Policymaker:
We, the undersigned cleaning product manufacturers, retailers,
home services companies and business leaders, strongly support
legislation which will require manufacturers of cleaning products
to fully disclose all ingredients to consumers.
In the absence of regulatory requirements, many of the
undersigned already fully disclose the ingredients they use,
including fragrances. Our commitment to ingredient transparency
is proof that a company can provide this information without
adversely affecting the bottom line.
We agree with the Federal Trade Commission’s Fair Packaging and
Labeling Act statement that, “Informed consumers are essential to
the fair and efficient functioning of a free market
economy.” Giving consumers product ingredient information
enables them to make value comparisons between products and
allows them to avoid certain products that may contain chemicals
of concern.
A consistent labeling requirement would benefit consumer
confidence by providing uniformity of labeling practices, and
ultimately benefit business and the economy.
We strongly encourage you to support ingredient disclosure
policies to drive a vibrant and transparent marketplace for
cleaning products.
Sincerely,
