About the campaignRetailers have the power and a moral responsibility to ensure that consumer products and packaging are free of harmful chemicals. With great market power comes great responsibility. The Mind the Store campaign challenges the largest retailers to eliminate toxic chemicals in products and packaging and develop comprehensive safer chemicals policies. PERSISTENT, BIOACCUMULATIVE AND TOXIC CHEMICALS (PBTS) Chemicals that are persistent in the environment, bioaccumulate in people and/or wildlife, and are toxic are called PBTs. Because of these features, as long as they remain in commerce and may therefore be released into the environment, they will threaten the health of humans and wildlife.METHYLENE CHLORIDE

Douches and vaginal sprays with phthalates.In the US, beauty products are largely unregulated. Everyone is at risk, but women of color face extra hazards from the products that are marketed to them. And these hazards pile on top of health disparities created by other systemic injustices. HEXANE - SAFER CHEMICALS Hexane is a solvent widely used as an industrial cleaner and degreaser and is an ingredient in many consumer products. Easily inhaled or absorbed through the skin, hexane has been recognized for more than 40 years to cause long-lasting and even permanent nerve damage in feet, legs, hands, and arms.

MINNESOTA BANS TOXIC CHEMICAL TCE; EPA TWIDDLES THUMBS Minnesota is now the first state to ban the use of toxic TCE in any facility required to have a state-issued air permit. At the same time, EPA fails to protect the public against toxic TCE, despite years of research showing its harmful impacts on human health. Trump EPA official Nancy Beck fought regulation of toxic TCE for most of her career, and yet, President Trump has nominated her to chair an important consumer watchdog agency, the Consumer Product SafetyCommission.

TOXIC TVS: BEST BUY’S STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION SHOULD GO FURTHER Best Buy launched a chemicals policy in 2017 but didn’t publish the list of chemicals it is restricting until recently. While a step in the right direction, the list of chemicals does not go far enough — it is woefully inadequate in addressing harmful flame retardants and other toxics. In the year ahead, Best Buy must significantly expand its list of restricted chemicals and ban toxic flame retardants in the enclosures of all televisions it sells. Liz Hitchcock / May4, 2020
DON’T LET A CHEMICAL INDUSTRY INSIDER WEAKEN HEALTH PROTECTIONS You may have already heard that the Trump administration is taking actions behind the scenes to weaken an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposal to protect us from PFAS chemicals. You may be outraged (but probably not surprised) to learn that these actions have been driven by a former chemical industry lobbyist—who’s now nominated to run our top consumer protection agency.Next Page »
