Products by Adidas, H&M, Calvin Klein, Lacoste, Nike, Puma Contain Toxic Components, Greenpeace Warns


26.08.2011
Greenpeace claims the produce of fourteen international clothing manufacturers contains some toxic components.

The list features such companies as Adidas, H&M, Calvin Klein, Abercombie&Fitch, Kappa, Lacoste, Nike, and Puma, the online portal Molly.Ru reports.

The organization’s report states that their research indicated some hydroxy-ethyl alkylphenol content in the clothes and footwear produced by these companies. These compounds are know to be able to convert into nonylphenol during washing, and this chemical can have a detrimental effect on a human’s hormonal balance; it can also find its way into foodstuffs and harm the environment.

The toxic chemicals were detected in fifty-eight out of seventy-eight samples in the course of the research.
