Prop 65

Category: Compliance

Also searched as: Prop 65

Definition (plain English)

Proposition 65 requires warnings in California when products expose users to listed chemicals above safe-harbor thresholds. It drives testing, labeling, and indemnity language in supply contracts.

Why it matters commercially

It affects market access and release decisions, so mistakes can block shipment, trigger relabeling, or cause disposal.

Example

Quality and regulatory teams verified Prop 65 evidence before goods were released to retail customers.

Common mistake

Assuming Prop 65 evidence from one market is automatically accepted in another without checking local requirements.
