About California Proposition 65
California's Proposition 65 entitles California consumers to special warnings
for products that contain chemicals which are known to the state of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm if those products
expose consumers to such chemicals above certain threshold levels. We care about
our customers' safety and hope that the information below helps with your buying
decisions.
We are providing the following warning for products subject to this
proposition throughout our website:
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
What is Proposition 65?
- Proposition 65 is a California law passed by California voters in 1986.
Its formal name is the "Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of
1986."
- Prop 65 requires the state to keep a list of substances that may cause
cancer or reproductive toxicity in humans or animals. One can get more
information about Prop 65 on California's website,
http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/background/p65plain.html
- Prop 65 requires businesses to warn customers if they will be exposed to
an amount that is more than one-thousandth of the amount that causes no
effect (for reproductive toxins) or that would cause more than one case of
cancer in 100,000, assuming that exposure every single day for a lifetime.
- Prop 65 does not regulate the amount of chemicals in products. It just
requires a warning.
- Prop 65 does not prohibit selling any product. It just requires a
warning.
- Our products meet all federal, state, and local safety laws.
Why do we have labels on our products?
- Under California law, companies must provide this warning if their
products contain any chemicals on the State of California's list of 850+
chemicals that may cause cancer or reproductive harm.
- This label is approved as a "reasonable warning" in regulations adopted
by California's Environmental Protection Agency.
- In order to continue providing the products you require it is essential
that we adhere to all federal, state and local safety laws.
