In the fourth annual report card on safer chemicals in consumer products, the Mind the Store campaign found that some major retailers are making meaningful progress in improving the chemical safety of the products and packaging they sell. Still, about one-third of the??companies??evaluated failed to make the grade.

The 'Who???s Minding the Store? A Report Card on Retailer Actions to Eliminate Toxic Chemicals' report evaluated and graded the chemical policies and practices of 43 of the largest North American retailers, including grocery and fast food chains, as part of Safer Chemicals Healthy Families??? Mind the Store campaign.
