Rite Aid Certifies to Brimer that Nozzles are Reformulated to be Lead-Free

Rite Aid Corporation has certified to Russell Brimer and The Chanler Group that Rite Aid now sells only water sprayers with metal nozzles that are virtually lead-free.  As per the settlement agreement, Brimer has agreed to waive the final civil penalty.

Earlier this year, Brimer filed a complaint against Rite Aid alleging that it had violated California consumers’ right to know of the risks associated with being exposed to lead.  You can read more details of the settlement on our website at Brimer v. Rite Aid Corporation.
