What is Proposition 65?
This is a law unique to the state of California. Products sold within and distributed from this state will have the Proposition 65 warning on the product packaging.
The California Proposition 65 regulates substances officially listed by CALIFORNIA with an extremely low threshold for toxic substances that have 1 in 100,000 chance of causing cancer/birth defects over a 70 year period. By CALIFORNIA law, all consumer products must put a warning label on all products originating from and/or destined for the state of California just in case the product MAY contain any chemicals through exposure to air, water, etc. These low limit heavy metals are naturally occurring in the soil and air.
