Prop 65 suit names 56 supplement firms
This article was originally published in The Tan Sheet
Executive Summary
The California attorney general alleges 56 multivitamin marketers violated the state's Proposition 65 by failing to warn that their products included lead. The AG filed the suit Dec. 23 after the Carrick Law Group sent notices to 74 companies the FDA identified as having lead in their multivitamins (1"The Tan Sheet" Aug. 11, 2008, p. 8). The complaint does not name 14 of the companies identified in FDA's study because they have fewer than 10 employees and are not subject to Prop 65, which requires companies to warn when products include chemicals that could cause cancer or reproductive problems
