Australian regulator sues Clorox over false claims on 'ocean plastic' bags
Apr 17, 2024 9:16 PM

April 18 (Reuters) - The Australian competition

regulator on Thursday said it has taken a legal action against

U.S. bleach maker Clorox's local unit for falsely

claiming that a brand of its kitchen and garbage bags were

partly made of recycled "ocean plastic".

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) in

a press statement alleged that Clorox Australia falsely

represented that its GLAD-branded kitchen and garbage bags were

made of 50% recycled plastic collected from an ocean or sea.
