Posted: 12/21/2018  browse the case archive

The parties involved in the case Moore v. LB Marketing, Inc., et al. executed a Consent Judgment on December 21, 2018.  In this matter, citizen enforcer John Moore alleged that LB Marketing, Inc. (“LB Marketing”) and Best Buy Co., Inc. (“Best Buy”) (collectively, “Parties”) sold vinyl headlamp cords and other portable lighting products with vinyl components containing di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (“DEHP”) in the State of California without providing the requisite health hazard warnings.  

As part of the agreement, the parties agreed not to sell any vinyl headlamp cords and other portable lighting products with vinyl components in California after the San Francisco Superior Court approves the Judgment, unless the products contain 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 Consent Judgment required settlement payments of up to $33,000, divided therein between civil penalties, 75% of which are paid to California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, and compensation to whistleblower Moore and his counsel for their successful enforcement of this matter in the public interest.
