Prop 65

California’s Proposition 65

Proposition 65, also known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, mandates that warnings be given to California consumers about potential exposure to chemicals that the state has identified as carcinogenic or harmful to reproductive health. These warnings aim to help Californians make informed decisions regarding their exposure to these substances in the products they use. The program is managed by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), which also publishes the list of chemicals covered under Proposition 65.

What is Proposition 65?

Proposition 65 (Prop 65) mandates that businesses provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. These chemicals may be present in the products Californians buy, in their homes or workplaces, or released into the environment. By requiring businesses to provide this information, Proposition 65 empowers Californians to make informed decisions regarding their exposure to these substances.

The state of California is also required by Proposition 65 to publish and update a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Since its initial publication in 1987, this list has grown to include approximately 900 chemicals and must be updated at least once a year.
