Product safety — more California Proposition 65 notices issued

Eighteen new "60-day" notices have been issued since the beginning of April, alleging that brands and retailers sold tote bags (Notice 1), cosmetic and toiletries cases (Notice 1; Notice 2; Notice 3; Notice 4; Notice 5; Notice 6; Notice 7; Notice 8; Notice 9; Notice 10), jewelry (Notice 1; Notice 2), footwear (Notice 1; Notice 2), and belts (Notice 1; Notice 2; Notice 3; Notice 4; Notice 5) in California that contained phthalates in violation of Prop 65. TGA has included these notices, along with every other travel goods and other fashion-related notice for the past three years, in the TGA Prop 65 "60 Day Notice" running list. TGA will continue to update this list on a regular basis. For more information on Prop 65, please go to the Prop 65 page on the TGA website or contact TGA's Nate Herman at 703-797-9062.
