Non-compliance with Proposition 65 can result in civil penalties up to $2,500 per day for each violation. Businesses may also face lawsuits from the state, public interest groups, or private citizens, potentially leading to additional fines and legal fees.

Proposition 65 was enacted to help Californians make informed decisions about protecting themselves from chemicals known to cause harm. It aims to reduce or eliminate exposures to these chemicals by providing public warnings and influencing the removal or reformulation of hazardous
substances in products.

Chemicals are listed under Proposition 65 if they are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. This determination can be made through research by certain state and international health agencies, labor codes, or through required labeling on consumer products.

A Proposition 65 warning means that a business has determined that one or more listed chemicals may be present in their products or premises. The warning is provided to inform consumers about potential exposures to these chemicals.

Not necessarily. The presence of a Proposition 65 warning does not automatically mean that a product is unsafe. Proposition 65 standards are often more stringent than federal and international guidelines. Many businesses opt to include warnings out of caution and to avoid legal challenges.
