This notice is provided pursuant to California Proposition 65, which requires companies to warn consumers of consumer exposure to one or more of the chemicals listed in Proposition 65. Proposition 65 requires companies selling products in California to warn consumers if a product contains any of the listed substances. chemicals in quantities above very low levels.
Cell phones have Proposition 65 warnings because their materials contain compounds believed to be carcinogenic. Many phones are made of plastic and metal which, under certain laboratory conditions, have proven themselves to contribute to the rise of cancer in cells, and this renders them potentially unsafe in everyday items.
The law requires that all companies selling products containing one or more of these chemicals known to customers or people using the products in California be notified prior to purchase. Any company that sells products in California that contain or are made with Proposition 65 listed chemicals, or that exposes California Proposition 65 chemicals to environmental or occupational levels, must implement new Proposition 65 warnings that comply with the requirements.
The Regulations of Proposition 65
Under California’s Proposition 65 law, Proposition 65 requires “clear and reasonable” warnings for consumer products and environmental/occupational exposures to listed chemicals, with some “safe harbor” warnings for “use.” What most consumers don’t understand in their Proposition 65 legislation is that the thresholds for warning requirements are based on actual exposure to a particular chemical.
If a product contains or uses environmental or professional manufacturing, it may expose California residents to one or more Prop 65 chemicals in amounts not sufficient to cause a significant risk of cancer, childbirth, or other reproductive diseases. Hazard, this product, environment, or work environment requires a legal notice under California Proposition 65.
Proposition 65 authorizes California consumers to warn of products containing chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm if such products expose consumers to such chemicals above certain levels.
Apparently, manufacturers are required to place this label on certain products in accordance with Proposition 65, a California law that requires a warning about anything containing lead or other hazardous substances that can cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
A California law called “Proposition 65” (or “Proposition 65” for short) requires foods, dietary supplements, and other consumer products to contain warnings about cancer and birth defects if the products may cause exposure to certain substances, including very low levels. levels. If a product sold in California contains any of the approximately 900 toxins and carcinogens, it requires a Californias Prop 65 warning label.
The Stated Purpose of Proposition 65
California Proposition 65 contains warnings about chemicals that may pose a risk to health and/or well-being. A furniture product with a Prop 65 warning indicates that the product may expose you to one or more of the listed chemicals, which can lead to more big health risk. In furniture products displaying Prop 65 warning signs, they warn of potentially high levels of the listed chemical or other chemicals when exposure levels below the listed levels are normal. Some furniture containing Proposition 65 chemicals may not cause enough exposure to warrant a warning.
People may be confused by the warning labels posted by Proposition 65 because they only mention (or imply) that certain chemicals can cause cancer (or other reproductive problems). Some internal appliance components, such as the motor or power cord, may contain Prop 65 chemicals and therefore warrant a Proposition 65 warning. Most plasticizers are listed on Proposition 65, which means that if your product contains plastic or is made with plasticizers, there is a good chance your business will need to comply with California Proposition 65 requirements for this product.
Commonly known as Warning 65, it should be applied to any product containing the listed chemical, unless the exposure level is below the Safe Harbor regulatory level. Any business whose product contains one or more of the approximately 800 chemicals listed in Proposition 65 must provide California consumers with a warning if they cannot demonstrate that exposure is below scientifically established levels.
Toxic Substances Are a Growing Problem
Commonly referred to as Proposition 65, the Drinking Water Safety and Toxic Substances Control Act requires companies to notify Californians of significant amounts of chemicals found in the products they buy, found in their homes or workplaces, or released into the environment.
Proposition 65, the official Drinking Water Safety and Toxic Substances Control Act of 1986, is a law that requires California consumers to be warned that they may be exposed to chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. toxicity. California Proposition 65: Chemical Warnings Under a law that Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law in 2004, California lists a list of chemicals that can cause cancer and damage the reproductive system.
It also requires California to maintain a general list of all chemicals known to be toxins, and requires manufacturers and companies to warn people when these chemicals are present in products or buildings, even in very small doses. Companies must warn Californians that their skin, eyes, hair or reproductive organs are at risk from chemical use.
Therefore, substances, such as those that make the iPhone lighter or more flexible, violate California law, specifically Proposition 65. According to spokesman Charles Margulis, phthalates (a group of compounds, ”, that increase flexibility) violate California law, specifically Proposition 65. Proposition 65 applies to all products sold in California through stores, mail order, and online.
