Clorox Company (The)

The Clorox Company develops and sells a portfolio of consumer products, including cleaning supplies, disinfectants, and personal care items, which are subject to regulatory safety requirements that mandate animal testing. The company states it does not conduct or commission animal testing on its products or ingredients unless explicitly required by law. However, this policy means animal testing remains a component of its compliance framework for product registration and market access in certain jurisdictions. Clorox reports ongoing advocacy for alternatives to federal animal testing requirements.

PETA assesses Clorox as a company that tests on animals, noting that such testing may be conducted directly, by suppliers, or through third parties. The company’s public-facing animal testing policy, last updated in 2019, affirms that testing occurs when legally mandated. This positions Clorox among consumer goods companies whose business activities continue to rely on animal testing for regulatory compliance.
