DiPirro v. Sportcraft, Ltd., et al.

Posted: 08/15/2000  browse the case archive

On August 15, 2000, citizen enforcer Michael DiPirro, and settling party Sportcraft, Ltd. entered into an out-of-court Settlement Agreement, which resolved DiPirro's allegations that Sportcraft sold certain sporting equipment adhesive that contains toluene in the State of California without providing the requisite health hazard warnings.

As part of the settlement, Sportcraft agreed that no later than September 4, 2000, it shall not ship (or cause to be shipped on its behalf) any of the products for sale or use in California unless each such product is accompanied by the appropriate Proposition 65 warning statement pursuant to Section 2 of the Agreement.

The Settlement Agreement requires settlement payments of $27,000, divided therein between civil penalties, 75% of which are paid to California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, and compensation to whistleblower DiPirro and his counsel for their successful enforcement of this matter in the public interest.
