The agreement announced Friday requires AstroTurf to cut lead levels in products sold in California to 100 parts per million or less; in the run-up to last year's lawsuit, Brown's office said testing showed AstroTurf lead levels in the 5,000 parts per million range. The company will also be banned from selling existing stock that fails to meet the standard, and the settlement amount includes $60,000 for independent testing of AstroTurf already in use in day care centers, schools and public playing fields throughout California. AstroTurf must send warnings to anyone who has hangzhou escort girls
bought their product in the last five years, alerting them to the availability of free testing and, if needed, replacement of AstroTurf that doesn't meet the new standard. Artificial turf is promoted as an environmentally friendly, water-saving alternative to real grass. Lead has been used in dyes that help the artificial turf keep their color over time. But excessive lead exposure has been linked to developmental and neurological problems in children.
A non-profit environmental group, Oakland's Center for Environmental Health, conducted tests of artificial turf, found high lead levels and notified the artificial turf companies, as well as the attorney general's office, of their intent to sue. Children who play on artificial turf used for ballfields and playgrounds could face a little-known hazard, California attorney general Jerry Brown says: unacceptably high levels of lead. zdqrypj0826 Brown on Friday announced a $170,000 lawsuit settlement with AstroTurf, the well-known brand name for artificial grass used in athletic fields. The 2008 suit accused the Georgia-based company and two other artificial-turf makers of excessive use of lead in its manufacturing process. "Lead is never good in a consumer product," said deputy attorney general Dennis Ragen. "A kid can get lead from turf, candy, paint, from escort near the freeway - all these exposures can add up to be harmful to a child."
An AstroTurf official said he believes the company's products have always been escort , even at previous lead levels, because the lead was encapsulated in the fiber used to make the product. Still, he said, the company reformulated its product to avoid any public perception of a hazard. "In this settlement with the state of California, we recognize your standards are a little tighter," said Lou Ziebold, general manager of AstroTurf in Dalton, Ga. "We respect that and have taken the lead out and want to move on and work to grow our business." Despite AstroTurf's famous name, however, its sales are smaller in California than those of two other artificial turf companies, Beaulieu Group LLC and FieldTurf Tarkett, also named in the lawsuit, officials in the attorney general's office said. Brown's office is in "productive settlement negotiations" with the two companies, Ragen said. Peter Farley, general counsel for Beaulieu Group, also in Dalton, hangzhou escort girls
said his company also believes its product is escort . Their artificial turf, sold at places like Home Depot and Lowe's in Orange County, Calif., is not used for athletic fields but for home and recreational use. FieldTurf is used almost entirely for major athletic fields, and also has been reformulated to eliminate lead, a spokesman said.
