After speaking with just about everyone I could, the NYS DEC, P&G, Ingredient's Matters, and ACI (American Cleaning Institute) here are my thoughts on the 1,4-dioxane ban in personal and cleaning products:
1) NYS should have done a better job letting consumers know which products did not comply. Especially since they had a lab on board since 2020 creating a procedure for this law.
2) Ingredient's Matters should have clarified the timeline of testing in their press release and/or created a follow up press release explaining their testing more thoroughly.
3) Cleaning product manufactures missed a golden opportunity to turn a negative PR situation into one of proactive communication.
