Moorberg Settles with Cortland Line Manufacturing

Mark Moorberg has negotiated a settlement with Cortland Line Manufacturing for alleged Proposition 65 violations.  Moorberg alleged that Cortland sold vinyl/PVC nets and vinyl/PVC pouches that contained the phthalate chemical DEHP without the requisite health hazard warning.  DEHP is known to the State of California to cause birth defects and/or other reproductive harm, and companies offering products for sale that contain DEHP must provide consumers with a “clear and reasonable” warning of the risk of exposure.

For more details and to read the settlement itself, please see the case summary on our website: Moorberg v. Cortland Line Manufacturing LLC

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.
