Proposition 65
California warning requirements for products sold in that state.
California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, known as Proposition 65, requires businesses to provide warnings about significant exposures to chemicals the state has listed as causing cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Scope
The requirement applies to products sold into California. A warning is not a statement that a product is unsafe or that it violates any safety standard — it reflects the state's listing and exposure thresholds.
Where warnings appear
- On product packaging where required
- On retail display materials
- On distributor documentation for California shipments
Further information
The state maintains the official listing and guidance at the OEHHA Proposition 65 site. For product-specific questions contact the order desk at info@barnel.com.
