Brimer and Leeman Have A Very Successful Summer– by Lana Beckett at Prop. 65 Clearinghouse

Excerpted from the full length article at Prop. 65 Clearinghouse:

While the rest of us were lounging at the beach working on our tans, Prop. 65 plaintiffs Russel Brimer and Whitney Leeman were as they say, making hay while the sun shined.

In nine cases settled since July they have received $358,499. This amounts to $91,800 in penalties, of which they get to keep a $22, 950. Connecticut-based attorney Clifford Chanler and two law firms that work with him, Marin County-based Paras Law Group and Chicago-based Martin Law Group get to split the attorney fees of $266,699.

Several of the cases concerned glass and ceramic ware with hand painted art-work on the exterior of the products containing lead and cadmium. Other complaints were for household decorative products such as night-lights and terrariums. All the cases called for reformulation or warnings. link to source.
