TCG Clients Serve 27 New 60-Day Notices of Proposition 65 Violation

TCG clients Dr. Anthony Held and Laurence Vinocur served 27 new 60-Day Notices of Proposition 65 Violation last Friday to companies offering products such as hand tools, bags, and upholstered furniture for sale 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 Intel Corporation and Merz Pharmaceuticals.
