Understanding Proposition 65: What You Need to Know
Proposition 65, also known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, is a California law designed to protect consumers by requiring businesses to provide warnings about significant exposures to chemicals that may cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. These chemicals can be found in everyday products, the food we eat, and the environments we inhabit.
The State of California maintains an updated list of these harmful chemicals to help residents make informed choices about the products they use and the potential exposures they may encounter.

We are committed to complying with Proposition 65 by providing necessary warnings for any products that may contain chemicals listed by the state. It’s important to note that these warnings do not necessarily indicate that our products are unsafe, but they reflect our commitment to transparency and adherence to California’s stringent regulations.
