Proposition 65
Designed to protect citizens from toxic chemicals in products that are released as the product degrades, Proposition 65 was made law in California in 1986. The law allows the California Attorney General's office to monitor and force companies to warn consumers about chemicals "that are known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm" in products. The state keeps a list of chemicals it deems dangerous, and any company presenting products containing the chemical in the state must provide a "clear and reasonable" warning before knowingly and intentionally exposing anyone to a listed chemical.
