John,
Toxic chemicals are hiding in our clothes and household products, and the
world’s most popular online shopping companies— Temu, Shein and
AliExpress—are to blame.
Recent tests exposed dangerously high levels of toxic substances in their
products—linked to cancer, infertility, and reproductive harm. Some items
had HUNDREDS of times the legal limit!
But we can stop Temu and Shein’s flood of toxic clothes.
The fast fashion industry is under increasing scrutiny–and governments are
taking notice. France is on the brink of passing a law to regulate fast
fashion, while the US has just formed a committee to address the same
issue.
If all of us chip in we could bring the pressure to boiling
point, exposing the hidden chemicals in Temu and Shein’s products with
winning tactics like hard-hitting research, blasting the results all over
the media, lobbying for stricter regulations, and finally hold corporate
giants like these accountable.
But we need your help to do it. Can you chip in to rein in toxic corporate
power?

These mega-brands are skyrocketing in popularity. Temu’s growth exploded
by 700% last year in the US, thanks to their massive advertising budgets.
Temu alone spent millions advertising during the Super Bowl, offering $15
million in coupons and giveaways.
Behind their dirt-cheap prices and flashy giveaways lies a hidden
danger—products packed with harmful chemicals: shoes packed with 428 times
the legal limit of phthalates, children’s clothes loaded with carcinogens,
and hats soaked in formaldehyde.
The urgency to expose these dangerous products has never been greater.
Together, we can lift the veil on their toxic operations and hold them
accountable for putting our health at risk.
If enough of us chip in, we could launch tactics like:
* Lobbying lawmakers to push for stricter regulations worldwide, like
the upcoming laws in France and the US;
* Conducting research to reveal the full scale of toxic chemical use and
their impact on our health, and work with media experts to publish
findings;
* Showcasing the harmful effects of toxic clothing and products through
strategic media placement;
* Targeting Shein and Temu’s online sponsors to pressure them to cut
ties;
...and keep fighting against toxic corporate power everywhere!

Your donation will power Ekō and our campaigns worldwide fighting for
people and the planet.
We’ve taken on corporate giants before—and won. Just like when we secured
a monumental ban on toxic RoundUp products in US retail stores, we can do
it again. This time around, we’re fighting to stop fast fashion brands
from poisoning our clothes, products—and our families! Can you chip in to
help?
Thanks for all that you do,
Deborah and the Ekō team
