Tide, Ajax Makers To Be Sued Over Secret Harmful Ingredients

The lawsuit is being filed on behalf of six state and national environmental and health groups, including the Sierra Club and American Lung Assn. in New York.

Responding to the lawsuit, the Soap and Detergent Assn. expressed disappointment that activist groups were "using an arcane New York state regulation as a way to disparage cleaning product formulators whose products are used safely and effectively by millions of people every day."
