TCG client Anthony Held served six new 60-Day Notices of Violation of Proposition 65 yesterday. The notices were served to companies offering products such as hand tools, bags and tableware for sale in California containing chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm, without the required health hazard warning. Held alleges that the companies' products contain the phthalate DEHP, the flame retardant TDCPP, and the heavy metal lead (Pb). DEHP and lead are known to cause birth defects and reproductive harm while TDCPP is known to cause cancer. Some of the noticed companies include Crabtree & Evelyn., and Four Seasons General Merchandise.
