Proposition 65 is the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. Any company that operates in California, sells products in California, or manufactures products that may be sold in or brought into California is subject to Proposition 65. Proposition 65 requires warning labels on any product that may contain any of 750-plus elements that the California Air Resources Board considers a carcinogen or a reproductive toxicant.

 

What elements are included on the list?

Many of the elements listed under Proposition 65 are common everyday items. The list of elements keeps changing and is periodically updated. Elements are added to the list, some elements are removed. The entire list of elements is attached to this website.

 

What does the label mean?

The label does not necessarily indicate our products will cause you to contract cancer or reproductive harm if used as designed. There are no known or reported health or safety issues due to usage of our products when used as designed.
