Moore v. Nady Systems, Inc.

The parties involved in the case Moore v. Nady Systems, Inc. executed a Consent Judgment on January 25, 2018.  In this matter, citizen enforcer John Moore alleged that Nady Systems, Inc. (“Nady”) sold vinyl/PVC microphone pouches and vinyl/PVC microphone cords 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, Nady agreed not to sell any vinyl/PVC microphone pouches or vinyl/PVC microphone cords in California thirty days after the San Mateo County Superior Court approves the Judgment, unless the products 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 $20,000, 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.
