California Issues Notice of Intent to Add BPA to List of Reproductive Toxins

On January 25, 2013, the California Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) issued a notice of its intent to list the chemical Bisphenol A (BPA) as known to the State to cause reproductive toxicity. BPA has been used in reusable hard plastic water bottles and the linings of canned goods. OEHHA is currently accepting public comments on the proposed listing of BPA until February 25, 2013. 

The Chanler Group represents citizen enforcers who, acting in the public interest,  enforce each citizen’s right to know when they are exposed to toxic chemicals found in consumer products sold in California and who hold companies accountable for unwarned exposures through imposition of civil penalties and injunctive relief, often requiring the removal of the offensive chemicals. Clients of The Chanler Group have issued dozens of Proposition 65 notices to manufacturers and retailers regarding the presence of toxic chemicals in their products that are sold in California without a warning.
