"Defendant's Turf Products contain lead. Persons who purchase, use,
and/or come into contact with thse products are exposed to lead."
Could anything be more simple? More plain? More clear?
The State of California brought suit against three artificial turf manufacturers: Astroturf; Beaulieu Group, and of course our old friend, FieldTurfTarkett.
And not just our friend. FieldTurfTarkett is best buddies with members of the Montgomery County Board of Education, which is charged with managing the multi-billion dollar industry known as the "Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS)" in Maryland, and of course the Montgomery County Council who voted unanimously to approve the installation of FieldTurfTarkett crumb rubber sheeting across the County. Each and every member of the County Council is satisfied that crumb rubber artificial turf is safe. You heard ‘em folks. They couldn’t be more satisfied.
And here is the roll call of those councilmembers in case you forgot:
Council President Phil Andrews; Valerie Ervin; Marc Elrich; Council Vice President Roger Berliner; Mike Knapp; Duchy Trachtenberg; Nancy Floreen; Nancy Navarro; and George Leventhal. Yup, each and every one of these councilmembers voted not once, but TWICE to rip up the natural turf and install crumb rubber sheeting across our county. Some of them, those on the Education Committee, got to vote thrice; that would be Valerie Ervin, Phil Andrews, and Mike Knapp.

ReplyDeleteIt's a repository of information on artifical turf. Newton, MA is about to cover fields with artifical turf. The people approving it are also running for office saying they want Newton to be "green." HA!!!!
Newton is a city where they had a high school constructed using asbestos. Now this.
