Executive Summary
NINE CALCIUM ANTACID, SUPPLEMENT FIRMS BEING SUED BY CALIFORNIA AG because their products contain lead in excess of limits established in Proposition 65 and do not bear the required warnings, the complaint charges. "Each defendant has, in the course of doing business, knowingly and intentionally exposed individuals to lead, a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive toxicity, without first giving clear and reasonable warning to such individuals," State Attorney General Daniel Lungren alleges. Prop 65 sets a limit of .5 mcg per day for lead.
