"EPA Overhauls Household Chemical Label System" [1]

"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is overhauling its voluntary labeling system for designating that household cleaners and contain environmentally safe ingredients.

The “Safer Choice” system is the new iteration of its “Design for the Environment” labels, meant to certify products that are safe for the environment, pets, children and adults.

EPA head Gina McCarthy unveiled the new label design Wednesday in a video with her dog Emma."
