TCG Clients Serve 19 New 60-Day Notices of Prop 65 Violation

Clients Dr. Anthony Held, Mark Moorberg, Laurence Vinocur, and Paul Wozniak served 19 new 60-Day Notices of Proposition 65 Violation on Friday to companies offering products such as glass bottles, sunscreen, and camping tents in California that contain chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm, without the required health hazard warning. These citizen enforcers allege that the companies' products contain the phthalate DEHP, the heavy metal lead, the flame retardant TDCPP, and the chemical benzophenone.  DEHP and lead are known to cause birth defects and reproductive harm, while TDCPP and benzophenone are known to cause cancer. Some of the noticed companies include 99 Cents Only Stores, Bath & Body Works, and Sears.
