Moorberg Files Complaint Against TFI and Big Lots

Mark Moorberg has filed a complaint against TFI, Inc. and Big Lots alleging violations of Proposition 65.  Proposition 65 requires companies offering products for sale that contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or reproductive harm to provide consumers with a health hazard warning.  Moorberg alleges that TFI and Big Lots sold planners with vinyl/PVC covers that contained DEHP without a Proposition 65 warning.  DEHP is known to the State of California to cause birth defects and other reproductive harm.

In addition to civil penalties, Moorberg seeks an injunction to prevent TFI and Big Lots from selling planners with vinyl/PVC covers without a Proposition 65 warning.

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
