刚刚在国外网站上看到的，就转过来了，尤其提到美宝莲使用一种什么dibutyl phthalat e 的违禁化学药品，好寒呐~~ 当年欧莱雅义卖的时候还买过不少欧家的咚咚。。。 L'Oreal accused of using banned chemicals By Katie Bird 17-Jul-2008 A former L'Oreal executive has accused the company of using ingredients in mar kets where they are banned and of selling products that contain unlawfully hig h levels of preservatives. Jerome Chevalier claims that he was harassed and ultimately dismissed by L'Ore al USA after he complained about the company's allegedly unlawful activities. The former head of regulatory affairs has filed a suit against L'Oreal USA in Union County Court, New Jersey, asking for compensatory and consequential dama ges from the company and demanding reinstatement. According to Chevalier, products from the company's Maybelline range containin g dibutyl phthalate were being sold in South America, where the ingredient is banned. In addition, he claims that the company exported a hydroflourocarbon compound known as 152a to European markets - a move which was against its environmental policies. He also maintains that the company's '100 percent Pureology' range labelled as vegan in fact contains a number of animal-derived ingredients. After bringing these alleged discrepancies to the attention of the company's m anagement he claims he suffered harassment and was treated as a persona non gr ata. In addition, the lawsuit details a final incident occurring shortly before Che valier was dismissed where he objected to the use of the preservative Kathon C G (INCI names: Methylchloroisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone) at unlaw fully high levels in products sold in Europe. According to the EU Cosmetics Directive the substance can be used as a preserv ative as long as it doesn't exceed 0.1 per cent. Chevalier was fired from the company in August 2007 and the lawsuit is claimin g wrongful dismissal. In addition, the lawsuit claims that Chevalier was discriminated against becau se he is French, and that other French colleagues at L'Oreal USA were also har assed or given alternative positions in France. In a statement L'Oreal USA said it has investigated the complaint and 'unequiv ocally denies' the allegations. Although the company does not comment on ongoi ng litigation it said it intends to 'vigorously defend itself in this lawsuit' . The company went on to assure the safety of all L'Oreal products. "All the products marketed by the L'Oréal Group are in full compliance with F DA regulations as well as the European Union Cosmetic Directive and the requir ements for safety in the more than 130 countries where its products are sold," it said in the statement. |
