BBBY » Topics » Cosmetics Safety Issues:

This excerpt taken from the BBBY DEF 14A filed Jun 8, 2007.
Cosmetics Safety Issues: Cosmetic products have come under scrutiny due to common ingredients in U.S. products including phthalates - which have been linked to liver and kidney damage, asthma, and malformed or underdeveloped reproductive organs in males - and the carcinogen formaldehyde, found in shampoos, mouthwash and nail hardeners.  Legislation recently enacted in California is requiring increasing ingredient disclosure and media stories have prompted growing consumer attention.

Resolved:  Shareholders request that the Board publish a report to shareholders on Bed Bath & Beyond policies on product safety, at reasonable expense and omitting proprietary information, by December 2007.  This report should summarize which, if any, product lines or categories sold in Bed Bath & Beyond stores may be affected by the new product safety concerns described above, and options for new initiatives that management can or will take to respond to this public policy challenge (beyond those initiatives or actions already required by law).
