Clients of TCG Serve 11 60-Day Notices of Violation
Anthony Held, John Moore, and Laurence Vinocur--clients of The Chanler Group--served eleven 60-Day Notices of Proposition 65 Violation last week. The notices were served to companies offering products such as furniture, hand tools, and gloves for sale in California containing chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm, without the required health hazard warning. TCG's citizen enforcers allege that the companies' products contain the phthalate DEHP, the flame retardant chemical TDCPP, and the heavy metal lead (Pb). DEHP and lead are known to cause birth defects and reproductive harm, while TDCPP is known to cause cancer. Some of the noticed companies include Mechanical Servants, Raley's, and Spectrum Brands.
