Anthony Held, John Moore, and Laurence Vinocur--clients of The Chanler Group--served twelve 60-Day Notices of Proposition 65 Violation today.  The notices were served to companies offering products such as furniture, hand tools, and clothing accessories for sale in California containing chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm, without the required health hazard warning.  TCG's citizen enforcers allege that the companies' products contain the phthalate DEHP, the flame retardant chemicals TDCPP and TCEP, and the heavy metals lead (Pb), arsenic (As), and cadmium (Cd), among other chemicals.  DEHP and lead are known to cause birth defects and reproductive harm, while TDCPP and TCEP are known to cause cancer.  Some of the noticed companies include Big Lots, Misyd Corp., and Achim Importing Company.
