California Sues Toy Companies Over Lead Content

matelnewvig1.jpgSometimes, I am proud to live in the Golden State. If the federal government won’t protect our children, as least California will try. Last month, Governor Schwarzenegger signed into law AB 1108 banning the use of phthalates in children’s products. This week, California Attorney General Jerry Brown sued 20 toy companies for selling toys with “unlawful quantities of lead” under Proposition 65.

Some of the companies being sued are: Wal-Mart, Mattel, Toys R Us, Target, Costco, Sears, KB Toys, etc. This lawsuit of course follows the millions of toys that have been recalled, most of which were manufactured in China. Attorney General Jerry Brown said, “Despite the lengthening global supply chain, every company that does business in this state must follow the law and protect consumers from lead and other toxic materials.” The companies could pay a $2,500 fine for each violation, according to the lawsuit.
