Posted: 07/06/2017  browse the case archive

The parties involved in the case Moore v. U.S. Jaclean, Inc. executed a Consent Judgment on July 6, 2017.  In this matter, citizen enforcer John Moore alleged that U.S. Jaclean, Inc. (“U.S. Jaclean”) sold exercise balls 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 agreement, U.S. Jaclean agreed not to sell any exercise balls in California thirty days after the Alameda County Superior Court approved the Judgment, unless the balls contain no more 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 $28,500, 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.
