Demand Carter's get toxic chemicals out of baby clothes

 Carter’s is the #1 seller of baby and children’s clothing in the US, but lags behind competitors in removing toxic chemicals from its clothing.

Join us in calling on Carter's, the largest retailer of baby clothes, to clean up its act and End Toxic Textiles in its supply chain.

Thanks to pressure from nearly 15,000 consumers, in March 2020, Carter's released a public Restricted Substances List (RSL). But, an RSL only limits what harmful chemicals can be present in the products worn by kids in the US and does not limit what chemicals can be used during manufacturing.

This means that garment workers and our planet could still be exposed to harmful and persistent chemicals - Carter's needs to disclose a Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (MRSL)!

We're asking Carter's to adopt a strong, public chemical management policy that will protect workers and the planet, by restricting which chemicals can be used in the fields and factories of its supply chain. We also want Carter's to develop plans to restrict/replace the most toxic chemicals with safer alternatives, and we want Carter's to publicly report on its timeline and progress.

Carter's is a leader in selling baby clothes in the country. Join us in encouraging it to become a leader in cleaner clothes that are better for people and the planet.

First GM, now Nissan! Demand that Toyota and Fiat-Chrysler also drop their opposition to the Clean Air Act

After Consumer Reports members delivered more than 75,000 petition signatures, the largest automaker in the country, General Motors, dropped its opposition to vehicle greenhouse gas emissions standards in California. While GM must do more to earn consumers' trust, this is a step in the right direction for consumers, who will lose out on $300 billion in gas savings over the coming years if the original standards aren’t upheld. And it’s the right thing to do for our climate, too.

Now we need the remaining dominoes to fall. We need your help calling on Toyota and Fiat-Chrysler to withdraw their opposition to the Clean Air Act and support the original clean cars standards.

Can you send a quick message to the executives at Toyota and Fiat-Chrysler asking them to drop their opposition to cleaner air and more fuel savings?

After you’re done sending your message, please forward this email to friends and family to encourage them to send a message as well.
