Brimer Files Complaint Against Rite Aid Re: Lead in Nozzle Sprayers

TCG client Russell Brimer has filed a complaint in Alameda County Superior Court alleging that Rite Aid Corporation is offering water sprayers with metal nozzles containing lead for sale without a Proposition 65 warning.

Lead is a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm, and companies selling products in California that contain lead must provide a health hazard warning.

The case is pending in Alameda County Superior Court.

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. The Chanler Group has represented citizen enforcers of Proposition 65 for more than twenty years.
