What's Inside SC Johnson

Hi,

I wanted to pass this along. Feel free to copy and send it along to others!

Have a great day!

Dear Joan,
Disclosure Watch
ALERT!

We have great news for consumers! For months, WVE has been in dialogue with leading cleaning products manufacturer SC Johnson around ingredient disclosure.

Today, the company announced that starting immediately, they will begin disclosing ALL of the ingredients they use in their products, including dyes, preservatives, and fragrance. Information is available right now on their new website www.whatsinsidescjohnson.com.

By 2012, all of the information will be available on their website, through a toll-free number, and on the product labels. Ingredient information will also be available in Spanish on their website and through the company's toll-free number.

In addition, SC Johnson will be removing all phthalates from their products! Phthalates, which carry fragrances in these products, can aggravate asthma and are linked to reproductive harm.

As you know, WVE has been working directly with manufacturers and industry representatives to get this critical information to the public for more than a year.

We could not have done this without your support!

You signed petitions, made phone calls, and hosted green cleaning parties. Now, take a minute to thank SC Johnson today for their committment to transparency and for removing phthalates from their products.

Send a quick email to: http://www.scjbrands.com/contact/ and let them know you are proud of this effort!

We applaud this move by SC Johnson and hope the rest of the industry will follow suit. Help us keep the pressure on other companies by making a donation in support of this work today. This is a great victory! With your support, there are many more to come!


Best,
