California’s Proposition 65 (“Prop 65”), officially known as Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, requires businesses to provide a “clear and reasonable” warning before knowingly and intentionally exposing individuals to a listed chemical that may cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm in humans. Nearly 1,000 substances to date are listed for consideration, which impacts firms conducting business in the state.
Compliance with Prop 65 requires knowledge of the many complexities for warning exemptions. In particular, warnings are not required if the anticipated exposure level to a substance is below the Safe Harbor Level: the level that does not pose a significant risk of cancer or observed to cause birth defects and other reproductive harm.
