Some of the largest tea companies, Tazo, Celestial and Mighty Leaf, use plastic tea bags. I have given these three companies legal notice under California Proposition 65, also known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. This law requires businesses to warn Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that may cause: cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm. I asked these companies to either cease using plastic tea bags or to comply with the law and print a warning notice on their packages indicating that their tea could be hazardous to your health.
