Moore Files Complaint Against Shaghal and Fry’s Electronics

John Moore has filed a complaint in San Francisco County Superior Court alleging violations of California’s Proposition 65.  Proposition 65 requires that companies offering products for sale in California that contain chemicals known to the State to cause cancer, birth defects, and/or other reproductive harm must provide consumers with a health hazard warning. 

Moore alleges that Shaghal and Fry’s Electronics sold headphones with vinyl/PVC cords that contain the phthalate chemical DEHP, known to the State of California to cause birth defects, without a Proposition 65 warning.

In addition to civil penalties, Moore seeks an injunction to prevent Shaghal and Fry’s from selling headphones with vinyl/PVC cords in California without the appropriate health hazard 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
