Lawsuit plans have been announced by environmental and health activists who say that companies need to come clean about the chemical ingredients in their cleaning products.  They feel that consumers have a right to know what’s in the products they use everyday to clean their homes, for the sake of themselves and their families.  If these companies refuse to disclose their ingredients, it’s just one more reason for us to turn to green cleaning products.

Now that more people know the harmful effects of certain chemicals, shouldn’t they know whether or not these chemicals are in products they use on a regular basis?  Of course, but then it wouldn’t be a secret and companies like Procter & Gamble and Colgate-Palmolive would lose money.  What a shame.

The chemicals in household cleaning products are linked to asthma, chemical sensitivities, and other health issues.  Even more reason to label cleaning products appropriately with the entire ingredients list and also remove chemicals that have been deemed harmful.

The lawsuit will be filed in New York on behalf of a number of states, as well as environmental and health groups.  The Sierra Club is amongst those involved as well as the American Lung Association.

Until companies are forced to list all the ingredients in their products, we as consumers are in the dark.  Instead of waiting around for this to happen, it seems like a good time to switch to more green cleaning products.  That and who wants to support companies that feel the need to hide things from their customers?
