The company that makes Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps, a counterculture staple, sued many of its personal care competitors Monday over the validity of their organic labels as the once-quiet "green" cosmetic sector has soared in popularity, luring several Wall Street corporations into the field. The lawsuit, filed in San Francisco Superior Court, accused 10 companies and two industry groups of selling and promoting soaps, lotions and other products that are manufactured using conventionally grown crops or chemicals derived from petroleum. Dr. Bronner's alleges that it's unfair to label such products organic and is asking a judge to prevent Hain Celestial Group Inc., Estee Lauder Inc. and the other companies named in the lawsuit from doing so.1 likes it | report | Tell a friend
