Once upon a time
in a kingdom-not-so-far away, workers in giant factories were busy making children’s clothes.

Away from prying eyes, the workers were forced to use hazardous Little Monsters to help print and dye the garments.

Soon these Little Monsters
began escaping from the factories, swimming out of the pipes to be unleashed upon the world. Some even made it all the way to the North Pole!

Even more frightening
the small creatures hid in the shoes, shirts and skirts worn by children across the globe.

These Little Monsters were causing BIG problems. Some were toxic, while others even had the power to make boy fish become more like girl fish!

The problem affected everyone!
From the modest outfits of the factory workers' sons to the beautiful dresses worn by the merchants' daughters.

From the sporting garments of adidas to American Apparel's fashionable basics, these Little Monsters could be found lurking in the clothes.

This isn't a fairytale,
this is a nightmare!" cried the parents of the world, seeing their children so frightened by the toxic monsters.

So, they gathered
together to demand that the garment makers ban these Little Monsters from their factories and our clothes forever.

In just two years, they convinced 18 important merchants like Zara, H&M; and Levis to begin getting rid of the Little Monsters.

But this fairytale
still needs a happy ending. Merchants like Disney and American Apparel are still ignoring the threat that the Little Monsters pose.

About the Detox Campaign

The Detox campaign has united millions of people across the globe around a shared belief that the clothes we wear should not contain hazardous chemicals or cause toxic pollution.

Together, we have been able to convince big brands including Zara, H&M; and Valentino to commit to clean up their products and work with their suppliers to ensure that no more hazardous chemicals are used to make the clothes we wear.

Our work is far from done, but our successes so far prove that when we join together, big brands sit up and listen.

The more of us who act, the faster the change occurs.
