The California attorney general's office reached an $8.65 million settlement with Sears Holdings Corp.'s (SHLD) Kmart stores and filed a similar lawsuit against discount retailer Target Corp. (TGT), seeking to block it from allegedly dumping hazardous waste in local landfills.
The Kmart settlement includes civil penalties, costs and funding for projects to improve environmental protection in California.
"
Meanwhile, the attorney general's office said Target carries and handles hundreds of items with hazardous properties, including bleach, paints, pesticides, aerosol products, oven cleaners and automotive products. It noted Target is responsible for properly handling and disposing of products that are damaged during shipping or stocking, returned to the store by customers or removed because they are past their expiration date.
"Target has shown a willful disregard for California's hazardous waste laws by dumping flammable liquids and toxic chemicals in local landfills over a period of eight years," California Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. said. "If successful, this lawsuit would force Target to comply with state laws governing the lawful handling and disposal of toxic and corrosive waste."
