ACCC sues Clorox Australia for alleged false 50% "ocean plastic" claims in GLAD bags.
The ACCC has filed a lawsuit against Clorox Australia, the maker of GLAD bags, alleging false or misleading claims that certain kitchen and garbage bags contained 50% recycled "ocean plastic." The ACCC claims GLAD's bags were instead made from plastic collected from communities in Indonesia up to 50 km from the shoreline, not from the ocean or sea. The ACCC is concerned that Clorox's alleged actions deprived consumers of informed purchasing decisions and potentially misled other businesses.
