Executive Summary
NRDC OPPOSES CALCIUM MAKERS CALIFORNIA SETTLEMENTS OVER LEAD CONTENT because the settlements are based on an "erroneous view" of California's Proposition 65, the Natural Resources Defense Council states in a memorandum filed with the San Francisco superior court on June 5. California Attorney General Dan Lungren has formed agreements with eight calcium antacid and supplement manufacturers settling charges that the firms' products contain lead in excess of limits set in Prop 65 and do not bear the required warning labels ("The Tan Sheet" April 28, p. 1).
