Posted: 06/25/2017  browse the case archive

On June 25, 2017, citizen enforcer Anthony E. Held, Ph.D., P.E. and settling party Bond Manufacturing Co., Inc. (“Bond”) entered into an out-of-court settlement agreement.  Held had alleged that Bond sold vinyl/PVC tape containing the phthalate chemical di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (“DEHP”) in the State of California without providing the requisite health hazard warnings.

As part of the settlement, Bond agreed not to sell any vinyl/PVC tape in California after June 26, 2017, unless the tape contains less than 1,000 parts per million of DEHP when analyzed using state or federally approved testing methodologies OR have Proposition 65 warnings provided.

The Settlement Agreement requires settlement payments of $26,000, divided therein between civil penalties, 75% of which are paid to California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, and compensation to citizen enforcer Held and his counsel for their successful enforcement of this matter in the public interest.
