Australian regulator sues Clorox over false claims on 'ocean plastic' bags

Reuters

April 18 (Reuters) - The Australian competition regulator on Thursday said it has taken a legal action against U.S. bleach maker Clorox's local unit for falsely claiming that a brand of its kitchen and garbage bags were partly made of recycled "ocean plastic".

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) in a press statement alleged that Clorox Australia falsely represented that its GLAD-branded kitchen and garbage bags were made of 50% recycled plastic collected from an ocean or sea.
