Procter & Gamble Co. will alter its Tide formulation to lower the amount of contamination with a potentially cancer-causing chemical, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported.
The compound in question is 1,4 dioxane. P&G said in this Forbes article the chemical “comes in as a trace contaminant or a byproduct developed in the process of making these products.”
