RETAILER INSTRUCTIONS
RE:
Court-ordered Warnings for Leaded Crystal Tableware
Dear Retailer:
Important materials concerning the need to provide
court-ordered warnings for certain leaded crystal tableware
products are attached to this letter.
This only applies to
products that are used for serving or storing food or
beverages.
Warnings are not required for figurines, vases
and other items which are not designed for use with food or
beverages.
It is very important that you read and follow
the instructions enclosed with this letter.
Enclosed are two very important items:
.
2.
Signs for posting in your store if, and only if t you
currently sell any leaded crystal tableware for which a
warninq is required.
The sign lists certain brands of
leaded crystal tableware products for which a warning
under Proposition 65 is to be provided.
Instructions for posting these signs.
If you do not post these signs by July 31, 1993 as
required, you risk further legal action by the Attorney
General or others, in which monetary penalties could be
sought.
These materials are being provided by leaded crystal
tableware manufacturers and distributors as part of a courtapproved settlement of a legal action brought under
"Proposition 65" by a private party.
In this legal action,
the private party claims that certain brands of leaded
crystal tableware contain lead, which passes into food and
drink kept or served in those items in excess of
Proposition 65 warning levels.
Lead is a chemical known to
-i-

News-18580
the State-ho cause birth defects or other reproductive harm,
and the private party claims that manufacturers and
retailers of these products are legally required to provide
consumers with a clear and reasonable warning of this
exposure to lead.
The companies sued by the private party
dispute these claims, but have agreed to take various
actions to settle the case.
The leaded crystal tableware listed on the enclosed sign
may be sold legally because they comply w i t h international
standards for lead release.
They require a warning because
they exceed the stricter lead exposure standards of
Proposition 65.
Not all suppliers are participating in this courtordered warning program.
Suppliers that are not
participating in this program may be providing leaded
crystal tableware that requires a Proposition 65 warning.
You should contact your suppliers to determine if they are
in compliance with Proposition 6S, since failure to comply
could subject you to the legal actions referred to above.

Retail Store Warning
PROP65
News-18581
Instructions
Here's what you need to do to comply with the courtordered warning program:
i.
Check the listing of brands on the enclosed warning
sign, and see if any of the leaded crystal tableware sold in
your store is listed as requiring a warning.
If leaded
crystal tableware sold in your store is on the list, then
you must post the enclosed signs.
If your supplier of
another brand of leaded crystal tableware informs you that
its products require a warning, then you must also provide
warnings for those products.
If leaded crystal tableware
sold in your store is not on the list, and none of your
suppliers inform you that their products require a warning,
then you do not need. to provide warnings.
2.
Post the signs.
If any of the leaded crystal
tableware sold in your store appears on the list, then you
must post these signs by no later than July 31, 1993.
Where
you must post them depends on the type of store you operate.
There are three types:
a.
Department stores with a separate c h e c k - o u t
for the tableware department.
If you sell
leaded crystal tableware in a physically
separate section with its own cash registers
primarily used for that department, you must
post the signs at each cash register in the
tableware department and at two other
conspicuous places in the tableware
department.
b.
Large stores without separate check-out for
tableware.
If you have more than 7,500 square
feet of floor space, post a sign conspicuously
at each place where leaded crystal tableware
is displayed, plus any additional signs needed
to assure that any potential purchaser of
leaded crystal tableware is likely to see one
of the signs.
c.
Small stores with no separate check-out for
tableware.
If you have 7,500 square feet of
floor space or less, you may choose either
(a) or (b).
You do not need to do both.

California.
This only applies to products that are used for
serving or storing food or beverages.
Warnings are not
required for figurines, vases and other items which are not
designed for use with food or beverages.
It is very
important that you read and follow the instructions enclosed
with this letter.
Enclosed are two very important items:
.
A sign listing certain brands of leaded crystal
tableware that contain lead, and for w h i c h a warning
under Proposition 65 is to be provided.
.
Instructions for providing warnings in either your
catalogs or brochures o_rr a warning a c c o m p a n y i n g your
products when they are shipped to California customers.
These materials are being provided by leaded crystal

"Proposition 65" by a private party.
In this legal action,

C o u r t - o r d e r e d Warnings for Leaded Crystal Tableware
Products
Dear R e s t a u r a n t Supplier:
Important material for your restaurant customers
c o n c e r n i n g the need to provide c o u r t - o r d e r e d warnings for
certain leaded crystal tableware products is attached to
this letter.
These materials contain a list of certain
brands of leaded crystal tableware products for which a
P r o p o s i t i o n 65 warning is to be provided.
You are requested
to send the enclosed materials to each r e s t a u r a n t that uses
leaded crystal tableware on this list.
!
l
These materials are being provided by leaded crystal
m a n u f a c t u r e r s and distributors as part of a c o u r t - a p p r o v e d
settlement of a legal a c t i o n brought under Proposition 65 by
a private party.
In this legal action, the private party
claims that certain brands of leaded crystal tableware
contain lead, which passes into food and d r i n k kept in or
served in those items in excess of Proposition 65 warning
levels.
Lead is a chemical known to the State to cause
birth defects or other r e p r o d u c t i v e harm, and the private
party claims that manufacturers and retailers of these
products are legally required to provide consumers with a
clear and reasonable warning of this exposure to lead.
The
companies sued by the private party dispute these claims,
but have agreed to take various actions to settle the case.
If you do not send these materials by J u l y 31, 1993 as
requested, you risk further legal action by the Attorney
General or others, in which monetary penalties could be
sought.
The leaded crystal tableware brands c o n t a i n e d on this
list may be sold and used in restaurants legally because
they comply with all international standards for lead
release.
They require a warning because they exceed the

1. The School will not substitute these funds for other funds
available for the same activities.

In order to avoid duplication of effort, the School will
consult with the California Public Health Foundation regarding
any program this is specifically directed to the public (e.g.,
the San Francisco Ray Area Regional Control Center program
described below).
3. Annually, the School will provide to the Attorney General a
report on the use of the funds on a fiscal year basis (i.e.,
July 1 to June 30).
4. In light of the fact that basic research in any heavy metal
(e.g., arsenic, mercury, etc.) can provide important clues to our
understanding of the biological effects (etc.,) of lead and other
heavy metals, "lead-related research" permitted for these funds
may include research in heavy metals, but will be restricted to
that end.
5. Funds shall be spent in accordance with the following plan
over the next two years~
a°
The School will initiate a two-year, 10 county-wide program
of support and expansion of the San Francisco Bay Area
Regional Control Center programs focusing on lead exposure,
including identification of population clusters likely to be
exposed to high levels of lead, common environment and/or
commercial lead sources, and development and presentation of
appropriate preventive educational materials and programs.
Funding for this component of the program shall be $60,000
per year for two years.
b.
The School will equip the laboratory of a new faculty member
who is committed to heavy metal research.
This equipment is
essential for startup in this area and shall be dedicated
entirely to her use and control.
(No other funds are
available for this purpose.)
Funding for this component of
the program shall be $50,000 in the first year only.
C.
The School will establish a total of four "lure" stipends
(ideally, two per year for a period of two years.).
These
stipends will be specifically designated for the support of
developing researchers who agree to undertake research in

$45,430 per year for two years.
d.
e.
I
The School will fund, on a competitive grant basis, seedmoney projects submitted by School of Pharmacy faculty or
graduate students for basic research in heavy metals.
All
grant proposals will be peer-reviewed and approved by the
School's Graduate Instruction and Research Committee.
(A
brief description of the projects funded will be included
with the annual budget report described above.)
Funding for
this component of the program shall be $50,820 per year for
