Held Settles with Trimaco Re: DINP in Gloves

TCG client Dr. Anthony E. Held has negotiated a settlement with Trimaco regarding alleged violations of Proposition 65.  Held alleged that Trimaco sold vinyl/PVC gloves that contained the phthalate chemical DINP, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, without the requisite health hazard warning.

In addition to paying civil penalties, Trimaco has agreed to reformulate its gloves sold in California to be free of DINP.
