Held Settles with Adenna Re: DINP in Gloves

Dr. Anthony Held has successfully negotiated a settlement with Adenna, Inc. to resolve allegations that Adenna violated Proposition 65 by selling vinyl/PVC gloves that contained the phthalate chemical DINP without the requisite health hazard warning.

DINP is known to the State of California to cause cancer, and companies offering products for sale that contain DINP must, under Proposition 65 law, provide consumers with a “clear and reasonable” warning of the risk of exposure.

In addition to paying civil penalties, Adenna has agreed to reformulate their gloves to be free of DINP.

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
