Moore Settles with Maverick Apparel

John Moore has negotiated a successful settlement with Maverick Apparel, resolving allegations that the company sold vinyl/PVC jackets that contained the phthalate chemical DEHP without the requisite health hazard warning.  DEHP is known to the State of California to cause birth defects and/or other reproductive harm, and companies offering products for sale that contain DEHP must provide consumers with a Proposition 65 warning.

As a condition of the settlement, Maverick Apparel has agreed to sell vinyl/PVC jackets in California that have been reformulated to be virtually free of DEHP.

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.
