S.C. Johnson & Son is the maker of Glade PlugIns, an air freshener. They recently defended the online rumors that have swept the
Internet saying that the air fresheners have caused house fires. S.C. Johnson & Son responded to these claims by saying they provide customers with safe products that meet safety requirements. However, the company said that they will continue to investigate the allegations.[1]
S.C. Johnson & Son's Windex now has a Greenlist label on it. The Greenlist process is a classification system that evaluates raw materials on human and environmental health. The Greenlist logo is present to help customers identify which products are environmentally safe and deliver excellence. The Greenlist label is present in many S.C. Johnson & Son products. Although this is generally a positive addition to the traditional Windex bottle, the company could put the Greenlist logo on any of their products, no matter the ingredients, because they own the Greenlist label. This could lead to false representation of products ingredients.[2] By using Greenlist, S.C. Johnson eliminated 1.8 million pounds of volatile organic compounds from Windex, and four million pounds of polyvinylidene chloride from Saran Wrap.[3]
