With ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s Prop 65 testing services, manufacturers and distributors can ensure compliance to California’s Proposition 65 right-to-know law, under which they are primarily responsible to provide a clear and reasonable warning prior to intentionally exposing individuals to levels of over 900 chemicals detailed within the legislation that may exceed established safety thresholds.
Although primary responsibility is assigned to manufacturers and distributors to determine whether a warning label is required per California’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, also known as CA Prop 65, broader responsibility to comply with the regulations is required of all manufacturers, producers, packagers, importers, suppliers and distributors. The goal of the 1986 legislation is to protect consumers from exposure to chemicals and other toxic substances linked to cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. If any consumer product contains one or more of the chemicals that have been deemed hazardous in levels that may exceed safe harbor limits, the product must be labeled as such.
The state of California makes updates to the Proposition 65 list of chemicals periodically, and the safe harbor levels associated with them, if adopted, are also published. After a new chemical is added to the list of substances, businesses are provided a 12-month period to comply with labeling and warning requirements. The risk non-compliant organizations face is litigation and legal action, which may be carried out by California’s enforcement community.
