TCG Clients Serve Fifteen New 60-Day Notices

Russell Brimer and Paul Wozniak--clients of The Chanler Group--served fifteen new 60-Day Notices of Proposition 65 Violation last week. The notices were served to companies offering products such as hand tools, home furniture and musical equipment for sale in California containing chemicals known to cause reproductive harm, without the required health hazard warning. TCG's citizen enforcers allege that the companies' products contain the phthalate DEHP and the heavy metal lead (Pb).  DEHP and lead are known to cause birth defects and reproductive harm. Some of the noticed companies include D'Addario & Company, Inc., Johnson Outdoors Inc., Sport Chalet, Inc., and Strattec Security Corporation.
