Loblaw Co. Ltd promises that within three and a half years microbeads and two
potentially harmful chemicals will be eliminated from its cosmetic and household
products -- a move that environmentalists say has the company compensating for
the federal government's regulatory shortfalls. The chain, owner of various
grocery and Shoppers Drug Mart stores across the country, announced Thursday
that it aims to remove triclosan and phthalates, along with microbeads, from all
of its Life Brand and President's Choice products by the end of 2018. via
