We are very disappointed by the AP article published..., which does not accurately reflect the facts of Samsung’s actions...The claim that Samsung Electronics intentionally blocked workers from accessing chemical information pertaining to workplace health and safety, or illegally prevented the disclosure of such information, is not true...Concerning assertions that Samsung intentionally withheld information under the justification of trade secrets, or that trade secrets have been used to conceal the use of toxic substances by Samsung: 

• Suppliers are not required to reveal information deemed a trade secret but they are required to disclose whether their products contain any toxic substance...
• ...
• Samsung also conducts tests on materials received from suppliers for traces of toxic chemicals...
