DEERFIELD, Ill., Nov. 5, 2012 – Walgreens (NYSE: WAG) (Nasdaq: WAG) announces the
launch of “Ology™” the first nationally accessible and affordable brand formulated
to be free of harmful chemicals.  Exclusive to Walgreens family of companies, the
Ology brand features a line of baby and personal care products, as well as household
cleaners and is the solution to the growing consumer demand for products free of
harmful formulations.

Furthermore, several consumer groups helped drive support for the U.S. Senate’s 
recently approved chemical reporting bill – “The Safe Chemicals Act.”  If passed,
it will be the first overhaul of the federal chemical law since 1976 and consumers
are taking note.  The new bill would require that ingredients be determined safe
for human health before being used in [everyday consumer products](https://greenlivingguy.com/2023/09/polysorbate-80-dangers-in-everyday-products/).
The pending legislation has led several industry leaders to pledge to remove potentially
harmful and carcinogenic chemicals from several offerings over the next several 
years.

“Walgreens is proud to be leading the charge by providing ‘Ology,’ the first nationally
accessible and affordable line of household liquid products free of harmful chemicals
available in our stores,” said Joe Magnacca, president of daily living products 
and solutions for Walgreens.  “Ology reflects our dedication to innovation, our 
constant drive to improve our customers’ quality of life, and our ongoing commitment
to help people get, stay and live well.”

“Increasing evidence shows that the chemicals included in everyday products could
be contributing to children’s diseases and behavioral disorders, including asthma,
autism and cancer,” says Gigi Lee Chang, CEO of Healthy Child Healthy World, one
of the nation’s leading independent non-profit organizations dedicated to the empowerment
of consumers and the protection of children from harmful chemicals.  “Until the 
U.S. adopts better regulations around product safety—like we do in other countries—
parents are left to bear the burden of protecting their children’s health by educating
themselves and making conscious purchases.  With the help of Walgreens Ology products,
concerned consumers now have easier access to affordable and safer solutions.”

Select Ology brand products are available at Walgreens and Duane Reade locations,
as well as online.  Items will be available nationwide by early November and are
value priced compared to conventional formulas of leading brands.  Ology liquid 
products are free of harmful chemicals and include:

 * ·                     Baby Care – lotion and 2-in-1 body wash
 * ·                     Laundry – liquid detergent and fabric softener
 * ·                     Cleaners – glass cleaner and all-purpose cleaner
