Justrite Safety Group
California Proposition 65 Compliance Statement


What is Prop 65?

Proposition 65, also called the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, was enacted by the State of California in 1986. The act requires "clear and reasonable" warnings about potential exposures to certain chemicals that California has determined cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Under previous rules, the warnings had to be shown on the product and/or the product’s packaging. However, Proposition 65 was amended to also include “pre-purchase” warning requirements. The amendments took effect on August 30, 2018. In addition to on-product warnings, catalogs and webpages must now carry the same warnings so that consumers in California can see the warnings prior to purchase.

California law requires any company to declare if their products contain certain substances, as so listed on https://oehha.ca.gov/proposition-65/law/proposition-65-law-and-regulations and those products are sold in California.
