Consumer Advisory: Avoid Pink Pitfalls This Breast Cancer Awareness Month
By: Attorney General Charity Clark
For nearly 40 years, October has been designated Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and for good reason. One in eight women will develop breast cancer. October also brings a wave of pink ribbons and pink products. As Vermont Attorney General, I strive to uphold Vermont’s consumer laws and educate Vermonters so that they can make informed decisions when supporting charities and purchasing products. This month, awareness is vital and particularly important given a practice known as “pinkwashing.”
