SAN FRANCISCO - Dover Saddlery Inc. and Tractor Supply Company are accused of violating the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, according to a lawsuit filed on March 1 in the San Francisco County Superior Court. 

Plaintiff Gabriel Espinoza says that certain chemical compounds in the leather gloves manufactured by Dover and distributed by Tractor Supply are a health hazard that could potentially cause cancer and birth defects, and that the gloves were not properly labeled as a potential health hazard by the defendants in accordance with the Act. 

The defendants are charged with violation of the Act; they are subject to a maximum civil penalty of $2,500 per day per violation for up to 365 days. Espinoza also asks the court to bar the defendants from violating the Act again and grants at least $50,000 for the cost of litigation.

Espinoza is represented by Brodsky and Smith LLC of Beverly Hills.
