Target Corp. (TGT) has reached a $7.4 million settlement related to allegations about its handling of hazardous waste in California, according to state attorney general Xavier Becerra.

Target representatives didn't immediately respond to requests for comment late Wednesday.

Local prosecutors had alleged that Target unlawfully disposed of hazardous waste including electronics, batteries and compact fluorescent light bulbs, as well as medical waste including syringes. They alleged it didn't comply with the requirements of a $22.5 million hazardous waste settlement in 2011.
