California Proposition 65 Information

⚠ Some products sold on this website contain chemicals that are listed under California’s Proposition 65. These chemicals are identified by the State of California as potential causes of cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm.

What Is California Proposition 65?

California’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, commonly known as Proposition 65, requires businesses to provide warnings about potential exposure to certain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm.

More than 900 substances are currently listed under Proposition 65. These chemicals may be found in household goods, electronics, outdoor equipment, and industrial materials.

Why Are These Warnings on Products?

Businesses that manufacture, distribute, or sell products in **California** must include Proposition 65 warnings if a product contains any listed chemicals—even if exposure levels are extremely low or unlikely to cause harm.

Key facts:

  • A Proposition 65 warning does not mean a product is unsafe.
  • The California government describes this as a “right to know” law, not a product safety law.
  • Many manufacturers include these warnings as a precaution to comply with California law.

What Does This Mean for You?

If you see a Proposition 65 warning on a product, it means the manufacturer or retailer is complying with California law by informing consumers about the presence of a listed chemical. This label does not necessarily mean the product is harmful when used as intended.

Due to the broad scope of Proposition 65, many manufacturers in the **outdoor, tactical, and industrial** industries include these warnings to ensure compliance.
