Deluxe Corporation's Checkbook Covers Covered Under New TCG Settlement

A new settlement agreement with Deluxe Corporation, a manufacturer and distributor of a variety of checkbook covers across the United States, will ensure that their products will either be reformulated to eliminate the presence of a toxic phthalate chemical or at least be accompanied by a health hazard warning.

Additionally, The Chanler Group’s clients negotiated a cy pres payment, meaning that a portion of the civil penalties will go to the Silent Spring Institute, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to raising public awareness about potential exposure to environmental chemicals and the resulting reproductive and developmental harm.

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.
