A documentation-first way to read broad claims
Broad environmental or safety-related marketing terms can be difficult to compare without documented definitions and substantiation. TrustedTot looks for accessible primary documentation and clearly labels what is not yet verified.
What to look for
- The manufacturer's full ingredient or material disclosure for the exact item.
- Any current third-party record, matched to the product rather than a brand-wide statement.
- The meaning and scope of a marketing term as documented by the company.
- Current product instructions and labels.
Practical next step
Applicable requirements vary by product category. FDA cosmetics-labeling guidance and CPSC rules provide context, but they do not make a broad claim for an individual product.
Source notes
- FTC Green Guides: The FTC Green Guides are U.S. guidance for environmental marketing claims.
