Attention California Consumers:

As is required by, and to comply with California State Law (Proposition 65), be advised of the following language, as it applies to some products available for purchase through this website:

WARNING: This product may contain a chemical or substance known to the State of California to cause cancer.

WARNING: This product may contain a chemical or substance known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

What is Proposition 65?

In 1986, California voters approved an initiative to address their growing concerns about exposure to certain chemicals or naturally occurring substances. That initiative became the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, better known by its original name of Proposition 65. Proposition 65 requires the State to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth or other reproductive harm. This list, which must be updated at least once a year, has grown to include approximately 800 chemicals and naturally occurring substances since it was first published in 1987.

Proposition 65 requires businesses to notify Californians about the presence of any listed substances in the products they purchase. By providing this information, Proposition 65 enables Californians to make informed decisions about protecting themselves from exposure to these chemicals or other substances.

What Types of Substances Are on The Proposition 65 List?

The list contains a wide range of naturally occurring substances and synthetic chemicals that are know to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. This list includes naturally occurring substances in addition to synthetically produced substances or byproducts.

Naturally Occurring Substances May Be Exempt

Many of the substances on the list occur naturally in the environment. As per the Proposition 65 guidelines, substances that are naturally occurring and/or are below the “Safe Harbor” levels do not require warnings or reporting. Natural products that may contain these substances include, but are not limited to, herbs, vitamins, plant derived minerals, organic plant and/or animal derivatives. The exact levels of these naturally occurring substances vary and it is prohibitively difficult to prove their origin as natural. Therefore, we have included these warnings to comply with California Law.
