Posted: 11/18/2013  browse the blog archive

Anthony Held, John Moore and Whitney Leeman--clients of The Chanler Group--served thirteen new 60-Day Notices of Proposition 65 Violation last week.  The notices were served to companies offering products such as hand tools, bags and 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 and the heavy metal lead (Pb).  DEHP and lead are known to cause birth defects and reproductive harm.  Some of the noticed companies include Tractor Supply Co., Exxel Outdoors, Inc. and The Home Depot, Inc.
