What Proposition 65 is

Proposition 65 is California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. It requires the state to maintain a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm, and it requires businesses to provide a clear and reasonable warning before knowingly exposing consumers in California to listed chemicals above the applicable threshold.

What a warning does and does not mean

A Proposition 65 warning means the business is providing notice under California law. It does not automatically mean the product violates federal safety standards, that it is banned, or that it will cause harm when used as intended.

Warnings are often used because a listed chemical may be present in a component, material, finish, wire, battery, plastic housing, or other part of the product.

Examples of products that may receive warnings

  • electrical cords, wire assemblies, and cable components
  • printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies
  • battery-powered products and related battery components
  • plastic housings, cases, and molded parts
