Walmart and Target chemicals of concern lists
2
Overview: The Mind the Store campaign worked with researchers with the Chemical Hazard Data Commons (DC) / Pharos Chemical and Material Library to compile and publish a list of priority chemicals of concern currently identified under criteria established by Wal-Mart Stores (Walmart and Sam's Club) and Target. The purpose is to increase the transparency of hazardous chemicals flagged by Walmart and Target for reduction and elimination. A summary of the various tabs in this spreadsheet follows, along with the total number of chemicals flagged by each retailer, and the sources for the lists. Note that the regulatory lists referenced by Walmart and Target are dyanmic and subject to change over time. This information was compiled on November 2, 2016 and made publicly available on November 15, 2016.
