The company’s comments, in its own words

(8/27/2024) S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc.: The following General Comment is in response to the Commission’s notice to S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc. (“SC Johnson”) relating to a consumer report dated July 31, 20234, Report No. 20240731-B4EF7-4843671 (“CPSC Report”), which describes an allergic reaction after the consumer used ecover® Dish Soap. That notice was received by SC Johnson on August 15, 2024.
The consumer indicates in the CPSC Report she sent an email to the manufacturer about this issue, but she did not receive a response. SC Johnson has searched its records and did not find a consumer contact reporting an allergic reaction to the product. We encourage her to call the 800 number on the back of the product so that we can address her concerns.
SC Johnson is confident that its ecover® products are properly formulated, tested, and manufactured. We are aware these popular products are used thousands of times each year by consumers without incident. In fact, the consumer reported she has used the product for 4 years without incident. We have confirmed that the formula for the product did not change during that period.
SC Johnson does not intentionally add the ingredients mentioned by the consumer in her CPSC Report to the product which is why those ingredients do not appear on the product label. However, SC Johnson has been advised that it is possible the ingredients could be found in trace amounts in certain product ingredients supplied to SC Johnson. The product’s labeling complies with all relevant regulations and for transparency SC Johnson elected to provide this additional ingredient information online.
If the consumer or the Commission has additional information that it would like SC Johnson to consider, we would be glad to evaluate that information.

The product, in the report: Ecover Zero Dish Soap: https://us.ecover.com/products/zero-dish-soap/

Ecover Zero Dish Soap is deceivingly labeled and has contributed to flare ups of my allergic contact dermatitis due to the presence of methylisothiazolinone and methylchloroisothiazolinone. The Ecover website lists the following three ingredients in their Zero Dish Soap: denatonium benzoate, methylchloroisothiazolinone, and methylisothiazolinone. However, these three ingredients are not listed on the label. This discrepancy in the labeling would lead the average consumer to believe the product is free from these allergens. The inaccurate label information is a danger to consumers because the preservatives left off the physical label can cause allergic reactions in many people. For example, methylisothiazolinone was labeled the “contact allergen of the year” in 2013 by the American Contact Dermatitis Society. Had the company included a full ingredients list on the label or noted that the ingredient list on the label was not complete, I would have been able to avoid experiencing a reaction from this product. However, because of the deceptive labeling practices, I was unaware that Ecover Zero contained one of my allergens and was using it regularly. From this product, I experienced painful hand rashes, which affected my ability to function and resulted in increased medical treatment costs.
