Photo Illustrations from 'Little Monsters' Detox Report

Combining live action and illustration, the "Little Monsters" illustrations are designed to bring visibility to an invisible problem - the presence of hazardous chemicals in our children's clothes and in our lives. The illustrations are included in the Detox campaign report "A Little Story About the Monsters in Your Closet." A total of 82 children's textile products from 12 brands (Adidas, American Apparel, Burberry, C&A, Disney, GAP, H&M, Li Ning, Nike, Primark, Puma and Uniqlo) were purchased in May and June 2013. The items were purchased in 25 countries and regions worldwide from flagship stores, or from other authorised retailers. Hazardous chemicals were found in all, except 6, items analysed and in at least one product for every brand tested.

For more information on each item tested see: “A Little Story About the Monsters in Your Closet”, p. 36: http://www.greenpeace.org/china/zh/publications/reports/toxics/2014/detoxglobal
