Today I called the direct phone number in Ohio for Charmin and asked to

speak to someone in this country. She explained that the first list I

received included ingredients that used to be added to earlier versions of

Charmin. I actually do believe what she told me. Here is her email

recounting our conversation:

It was nice speaking with you today and I'm sorry the list you received

caused you some concern.  Per our conversation, here are the ingredient list

for Charmin Ultra Strong and Charmin Ultra Soft.
