California Proposition 65 Statement

Proposition 65 is a California law that has been in effect since 1986 to promote clean drinking water and to require businesses to provide a clear and reasonable warning before exposing individuals to consumer products containing chemicals known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Proposition 65's formal title is "the safe drinking water and toxic enforcement act of 1986." It is administered by the CAL/EPA's office of environmental health hazard assessment (OEHHA).

The law requires that no person in the course of doing business shall knowingly and intentionally expose an individual to a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity without first giving a clear and reasonable warning. An official list of these substances is published and periodically updated by OEHHA. The list can be accessed at:
