SOME LARGE CALIFORNIA GROCERY STORES (INCLUDING TRADER JOE’S AND WHOLE FOODS) HAS BEEN ACCUSED BY THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF SELLING LEAD-TAINTED GINGER AND PLUM CANDIES. THE SUIT ALLEGES THE COMPANIES DID NOT MAKE THEIR CUSTOMERS AWARE OF THE LEAD WHICH VIOLATES CALIFORNIA’S PROPOSITION 65. PROPOSITION 65 REQUIRES BUSINESSES TO WARN CONSUMERS ABOUT HARMFUL TOXINS IN FOOD, TOYS, JEWELRY AND OTHER PRODUCTS.
