Menu Labeling Claims Under Prop. 65 Can Proceed in California

The California Supreme Court has denied a petition for review filed by fast
food restaurants seeking to overturn an intermediate appellate court ruling
allowing further proceedings on claims that they violated Proposition 65 by
selling grilled chicken products to consumers without appropriate warnings
about carcinogens created by the cooking process. Physicians Comm. for
Responsible Med. v. McDonald’s Corp., No. S186566 (Cal., decided October 27,
2010). The intermediate appellate court determined that federal law did not
preempt the claims. Additional information about its ruling appears in Issue
360 of this Update.
