By rssfeeds-admin A civil case filed on Friday, June 6 by Seven Hills LLP on behalf of Blue Sky Forever says that Mr. S. Leather Co., Incorporated violated a health and safety code for not letting customers know about the dangers of a product called “The Jaw Master Gag” and the “harms caused by exposures to di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (“DEHP”), a toxic chemical found in and on gags manufactured, imported, distributed, sold, and offered for sale.”
Mr. S Leather is located at 385 8th St. and has been in business since 1979.
“Detectable levels of DEHP are found in and on the gags Defendants manufacture, import, sell and distribute for sale in California,” the suit adds, saying that exposures to DEHP can cause birth defects and other reproductive issues.
On its website, Mr. S. Leather states, “We’ve been designing and producing exceptional bondage gear as well as leather, neoprene & sports clothing for kinky guys since 1979…When you’re ready for the good stuff – Mr. S Leather is a place you’ll want to check out.”
The court document says the case is actionable, thanks to Proposition 65, and that Mr. S. Leather could face civil penalties of up to $2,500 per day for each violation.
“On October 24, 2003, pursuant to Proposition 65 implementing regulations, the State of California listed DEHP as a chemical known to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm,” says the suit. “DEHP became subject to the “clear and reasonable warning” requirements one year later, on October 24, 2004.”
