Brimer Files Complaint Against Taylor Precision Products Re: Lead in Glass Shakers

Client Russell Brimer has filed a complaint against Taylor Precision Products alleging that Taylor violated Proposition 65 by selling glass cocktail shakers containing lead without the requisite health hazard warning.  Lead is a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm, and companies offering products for sale in California that contain lead must provide consumers with a “clear and reasonable” warning that the product exposes the consumer to risk of cancer and reproductive harm.

Brimer seeks civil penalties, an injunction to prevent Taylor from offering the products for sale in California without a warning, and other and further relief as the court deems just and proper.

The Chanler Group represents citizen enforcers who, acting in the public interest, commence actions against businesses offering products for sale in California that contain chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm without first providing the health hazard warning required by Proposition 65. Citizen enforcers bringing Proposition 65 actions in the public interest may obtain a Court Judgment imposing civil penalties, an injunction requiring reformulation of products, and/or provision of health hazard warnings. The Chanler Group has represented citizen enforcers of Proposition 65 for more than twenty years.
