Video materials accompanying launch of the Detox report “A Little Story About the Monsters in Your Closet.” Contains material including Chinese dyeing facilities, waste water, outlet pipes and pollution, laboratory testing at Exeter, Soundbite from GPI senior policy advisor Nadia Haiama, and footage from relevant brand stores and clothing. 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. The study follows on from several previous investigations published by Greenpeace as part of its Detox campaign and confirms that the use of hazardous chemicals is still widespread - even during the manufacture of clothes for children and infants.
