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.
