Who needs to wait for public notice and comment rulemaking from EPA and FDA to ban chemicals?  Walmart, on the advice of the Environmental Defense Fund, has now issued edicts for their product suppliers to eliminate:

  • Formaldehyde
  • Triclosan
  • Toluene
  • Diethyl phthalate
  • Nonylphenol exthoxylates
  • Butylparabens
  • Dibutyl phthalate
  • Propylparaben
