AB 708:

Right to Know: Ingredient labeling of cleaning products

Author: Assemblymember Reggie Jones-Sawyer

Unlike food, cosmetics, and drug manufacturers, most cleaning product manufacturers are not required to disclose ingredients—including chemicals linked to numerous health conditions that disproportionately affect low-wage workers, women, immigrants, and people of color. AB 708 (Jones-Sawyer) would have required ingredient disclosure on both product labels and web sites for most kinds of cleaning products sold to consumers and businesses.

About California Environmental Voters

California Environmental Voters (formerly the California League of Conservation Voters) believes the climate crisis is here and this moment requires transformative change. California has the policy solutions to stop climate change but lacks the political will to do it at the rate and scale that’s necessary. EnviroVoters exists to build the political power to solve the climate crisis, advance justice, and create a roadmap for global action. We organize voters, elect and train candidates, and hold lawmakers accountable for bold policy change. We won’t stop until we have resilient, healthy, thriving communities, and a democracy and economy that is just and sustainable for all.
