Cliff Chanler, the founder of The Chanler Group, was featured in Bay Area TV station KTVU’s news report about a possible overhaul of Proposition 65.

California State Assemblymember Mike Gatto recently introduced Assembly Bill 227 (“AB 227”), a bill aimed at providing certain small businesses allegedly in violation of Proposition 65 a 14-day “cure” period during which they can correct the violation.  A dramatically revamped version of the bill passed the California State Assembly’s Committee on the Judiciary last week to provide a 14-day correction period to three narrow categories of exposures.

The Special Report offers viewers a glimpse into The Chanler Group’s work, including cutting open a piece of furniture in order to test the foam padding for toxic flame retardants.  As noted in the Special Report, The Chanler Group is dedicated not to just filing claims or making money, but to reforming the industry and removing toxic chemicals from consumer products altogether.
