Proposition 65 is also known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. Prop 65 protects the state’s drinking water sources from being contaminated with chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to inform Californians about exposures to such chemicals.
According to Proposition 65, suppliers and distributors of a product and retail sellers need to provide a clear and reasonable warning for all product that may expose the consumer to any of the listed substances. Here is a list of chemicals known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.
