ABOUT CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
California's Proposition 65, also called the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, was enacted in 1986. It is intended to help Californians make informed decisions about protecting themselves from chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Proposition 65 requires businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. These chemicals can be in the products that Californians purchase, in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment. Proposition 65 requires California to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. The list of chemicals, which must be updated at least once a year, has grown to include approximately 900 chemicals since it was first published in 1987.
