MOSCOW — Russian authorities have begun to remove foreign brands of detergent and washing powder from stores, claiming that they pose health risks.
The Consumer Protection Agency said in a statement on Tuesday that recent inspections of selected goods by top foreign brands such as Colgate-Palmolive and Procter & Gamble have found high levels of toxic ingredients.
Moscow extended its ban earlier this month on selected food imports from the EU and other countries. Russia, however, has not banned the imports of detergent and washing liquid and most of the producers mentioned by the agency have production facilities in Russia.
The companies listed by the consumer protection agency have not immediately reacted to the allegations.

Good for Russia!! America should do the same!!
Big laundry soap manufacturers have produced and sold those products in Europe and across the globe for nearly a hundred years. But the products that they sell in countries that have few environmental bans on damaging ingredients, including high phosphorus counts, contain
those very ingredients that are no longer legally sold in the 'States.
Like us they are free to label whatever however they wish.
