It\u2019s a right-to-know law, meant to inform Californians about potential exposure to chemicals that may cause cancer or reproductive harm over a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">It doesn\u2019t ban those chemicals; instead, it requires businesses to provide a warning when their products could expose people to a listed chemical at levels above specific thresholds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cAt that time, it was part of a broader effort to address a growing concern that the public had about toxic chemical exposure,\u201d says Megan Schwarzman, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publichealth.berkeley.edu\/people\/megan-schwarzman\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">environmental health scientist at UC Berkeley\u2019s School of Public Health<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The idea is that consumers can use that information to make their own decisions. A warning might prompt someone to choose an alternative, use a product less frequently, or take other steps to reduce their exposure. Prop 65 also gives businesses an incentive to reformulate products or change manufacturing practices to avoid issuing a warning that may deter customers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">And because California is such a massive consumer market, products often need to comply with Prop 65 requirements even when they\u2019re manufactured or sold by companies elsewhere. Some large retailers, such as <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/c\/california-proposition-65\/-\/N-4sr7h\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/FtXebJ4xqVaiKDYeeuzwcimsAHa4fYpmCU6KayHJKte1u8GEuc4FQy4K4UZ3GYHRj8rUqKt4KEVUy45ZDDHEUWyvDdUbXa1ejob51d4qcJxxEMgUx5bzrDpCbceEWUHYUEhTMzZK35TH4RTwjsYJ7LuirzbQrKPqGBx3mCGpwhBfXQb3SpZF6E4cBnHAW6tYw1akXCEe3cZJnVQwM3Ywvfxhh2g2LBTcVUtaUrjqsQNuS37ggRPhxL9gJ6CjvzkesPcwzefwYPhkFTXYZ5sKJbWuyprYjMcxDSuqy5XuSf5GhYJdr9mvRBJ6QSts9aXkn2Lx9Jj46HNxzXfvkooqLmMWHdabMyzxsdL&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/FtXebJ4xqVaiKDYeeuzwcimsAHa4fYpmCU6KayHJKte1u8GEuc4FQy4K4UZ3GYHRj8rUqKt4KEVUy45ZDDHEUWyvDdUbXa1ejob51d4qcJxxEMgUx5bzrDpCbceEWUHYUEhTMzZK35TH4RTwjsYJ7LuirzbQrKPqGBx3mCGpwhBfXQb3SpZF6E4cBnHAW6tYw1akXCEe3cZJnVQwM3Ywvfxhh2g2LBTcVUtaUrjqsQNuS37ggRPhxL9gJ6CjvzkesPcwzefwYPhkFTXYZ5sKJbWuyprYjMcxDSuqy5XuSf5GhYJdr9mvRBJ6QSts9aXkn2Lx9Jj46HNxzXfvkooqLmMWHdabMyzxsdL\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\">Target<\/a> and <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/sellercentral.amazon.com\/help\/hub\/reference\/external\/G202141960?locale=en-US\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/6zU1p8vmokUuYYWd28dQ8YmLKPuBVhjKENcFSTBjPjYz69LV4DrzFgAg85QHM2spmrUh4qaTc4K3K5tXvES1Wt6z68Z8VXnzygviq3CMJCSUXmrzPhYPpSGUd6WVmY7e6URWmjLpbSwAqE7C3DW3C7xQLet2HDDgLBbmcnG6Vj6hpvXkvo7aDSFXBLWfKN2sotswPnh5Fg7PTikoqc8fj5RrCzmTj3Erg8b8NhKvW7xPjkrXHVCcH2bgzCxqFEe1GKb2tJm8HGiXkqPG6a1zwt5MHFwVvD2zpXwL53F6sKmSrH7ckBuSMrENrMetu7XGqpGur6KqA2KzKd9VocKBEvBrTTsUb5xPdJTAgr12J3Q6SjfvHhb1hS1N4stFaZQAYSRp&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/6zU1p8vmokUuYYWd28dQ8YmLKPuBVhjKENcFSTBjPjYz69LV4DrzFgAg85QHM2spmrUh4qaTc4K3K5tXvES1Wt6z68Z8VXnzygviq3CMJCSUXmrzPhYPpSGUd6WVmY7e6URWmjLpbSwAqE7C3DW3C7xQLet2HDDgLBbmcnG6Vj6hpvXkvo7aDSFXBLWfKN2sotswPnh5Fg7PTikoqc8fj5RrCzmTj3Erg8b8NhKvW7xPjkrXHVCcH2bgzCxqFEe1GKb2tJm8HGiXkqPG6a1zwt5MHFwVvD2zpXwL53F6sKmSrH7ckBuSMrENrMetu7XGqpGur6KqA2KzKd9VocKBEvBrTTsUb5xPdJTAgr12J3Q6SjfvHhb1hS1N4stFaZQAYSRp\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" data-aps-asin=\"G202141960\" data-aps-asc-tag=\"w050b-20\">Amazon<\/a>, also require their vendors to comply with Prop 65 warning requirements.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\">Prop 65 Is Everywhere<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Prop 65 covers a broad range of products and potential exposures. You can find warnings on fortified foods, smartphones, and appliances. The law is concerned with exposure, not simply whether the chemical is detectable. California&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oehha.ca.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment<\/a> (OEHHA) establishes the so-called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.p65warnings.ca.gov\/faq\/businesses\/what-are-safe-harbor-numbers\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">safe-harbor<\/a> levels for many listed chemicals. Generally speaking, a warning is required when anticipated exposure exceeds these levels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The Prop 65 list contains both naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals that California has determined are known to cause cancer or reproductive harm. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/best-protein-powders\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">Supplements<\/a>, for example, can contain trace amounts of naturally occurring or environmental contaminants, including lead, cadmium, and arsenic. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oehha.ca.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/media\/downloads\/proposition-65\/\/p65chemicalslist.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">list is updated<\/a> at least annually, and chemicals can also be removed from the list as scientific evidence evolves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/why-does-everything-have-a-prop-65-warning\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My first encounter with a Prop 65 warning was on the back of my TV.
