GlobeSt (July 17, 2018) New amendments to Proposition 65 were passed in 2016, making warning signage regulations stricter, and are scheduled to take effect on August 30, 2018. In the first of a two-part exclusive, John Allen of Allen Matkins discuss the new warning regulations going into effect next month, how the amendment differs from previous warnings and what businesses need to know about the law.
GlobeSt.com: What is Prop 65?
Allen: Also called the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, Prop 65 is a California right-to-know law that prohibits businesses with 10 or more employees from ‘knowingly and intentionally’ exposing individuals to any of the more than 800 chemicals known to California to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm (listed chemicals) without providing them with clear and reasonable warnings. Although Prop 65 safe harbor regulations have long provided guidance on the content and method of Prop 65 warnings that are presumed to be clear and reasonable under Prop 65, new warning regulations go into effect soon. These amendments to Prop 65 modify language for previous warnings and add tailored warnings in specific industries and for certain products.
