Consumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge of environmental claims made by household products,according to a “green labeling”study published by ConsumersInternational Friday.
Among the report’s more outrageous findingsma German fertilizer described itself as“earthworm friendly”a brand of flour said it was“non-polluting”and a British toilet paper claimedto be“environmentally friendlier”.
The study was written and researched by Britain’s National Consumer Council(NCC)forlobby group Consumer International.It was funded by the German and Dutch goveraments and the European Commission.
“While many good and useful claims are being made,it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of products they buy.”said Consumers International director Anna Fielder.
The 10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain,Western。Europe,Scandinavia and the United States.It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average.
The report focused on claims made by specific products,such as detergent insect sprays and by some garden products.It did not test the claims,but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization(ISO)in September,1999.
Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2000 productsand found many too vague or too misleading to meet ISO standards.
“Many products had specially-designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly,but in fact many of these symbols mean nothing.”said report researcher Philip Page.
“Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158.Household cleaners w.eresecond with 145 separate claims,while paints were third on our list with 73.The high numbersshow how very confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading.”he said.
The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging,becauseterms such as“environmentally friendly”and“non-polluting”can not be verified.“What we are nowpushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards set by the ISO.”said Page.
What is one of the consequences caused by the many claims of household products?
选项
A、They are likely to lead to serious environmental problems
B、Consumers find it difficult to tell the true from the false
C、They could arouse widespread anger among consumers
D、Consumers will be tempted to buy products thev don’t need
答案
B
解析
由倒数第二段的“The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers tosort the true from the misleading”,大意是环保说明如此之多,以至消费者很难去伪存真。这句话的意思和B的表述一致,所以选择B。
