Vinocur Files Complaint Against Bed Bath & Beyond Re: Children's Play Tents

Laurence Vinocur has filed a complaint in San Francisco County Superior Court against national housewares chain Bed Bath & Beyond alleging violations of Proposition 65.  Vinocur alleges that Bed Bath & Beyond sold children's play tents containing the flame retardant chemical TDCPP, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, without the required Proposition 65 warning.

In addition to civil penalties, Vinocur seeks an injunction to prohibit Bed Bath & Beyond from selling the tents without Proposition 65 warnings.

The Chanler Group represents citizen enforcers who, acting in the public interest, commence actions against businesses offering products for sale in California that contain chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm without first providing the health hazard warning required by Proposition 65. Citizen enforcers bringing Proposition 65 actions in the public interest may obtain a Court Judgment imposing civil penalties, an injunction requiring reformulation of products, and/or provision of health hazard warnings
