Paint Maker Agrees to Provide Warnings Under Settlement

Rust-Oleum Corp, an Illinois paint manufacturer, has reached a settlement with As You Sow in response to allegations of inadequate warning of toluene in paint products under Proposition 65. Rust-Oleum agreed to supply warning labels to products still on the shelves. As You Sow sent 60-day notices of Proposition 65 violations to more than 40 paint and adhesives companies between October 1992 and January 1993. Chanler & Associates represented As You Sow in the legal proceedings of all the cases.
