Kinky-Curly And Curlicious Curls Hair Products Included In Recent Organic Lawsuit
Kinky-Curly Spiral Spritz (Kinky-Curly Hair Care) and Curlicious Curls Cleansing Cream Organic Shampoo (Curls, LLC) are just two of 26 beauty and hair company brands that have been sued by The Center for Environmental Health (CEH) for allegedly not containing enough organic ingredients to warrant their organic labels.
The environmental group filed a lawsuit against the companies which also include major names like Jason and British drugstore giant Boots because they are allegedly violating a California law that requires all organic products to contain as least 70 percent natural ingredients growth without pesticides or chemicals.
The organization’s executive director, Michael Green, told how a simple reading of the ingredients list on the back of many products found that many fell short of the California Organic Products Act of 2003.
He said: ‘For years, organic advocates have called on personal care companies to fix their improper ‘organic’ labels, but our recent purchasing shows the industry is still rife with unsubstantiated organic claims.’
He added that the aim of the CEH was to encourage companies to use organic ingredients, and ensure that consumers can trust organic labels to be meaningful and consistent. The case was filed in Alameda County Superior Court.
It is the latest in a string of disputes over the labeling of organic cosmetics, and the second time the CEH has taken action against Hain Celestial Group Inc, which owns the Jason and Avalon Organics brands.
It sued the company in May over the labeling of a face wash. The suit claimed that of the 19 ingredients listed on the Jason Ester-C Super-C Cleanser Facial Wash container, only one was actually organic.
There has been growing confusion and debate over what constitutes organic and a growing number of false labeling lawsuits.
Legal disputes over organic labeling initially targeted food growers in 2007. The next year, cosmetic products claiming to have organic ingredients were targeted. None of those lawsuits have been resolved.
The federal government does not have organic labeling rules for cosmetic products. But the U.S. Department of Agriculture has approved California standards.
