This warning is part of our effort to comply with the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (known as "Proposition 65"). The warning does not mean that all our products will necessarily cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
What is Proposition 65?
Proposition 65 is a far reaching law and applies to any company that operates in California, sells products in California, or manufactures products that may be sold in or brought into California. Proposition 65 requires warnings to accompany any product that contains or may contain any of 800-plus chemicals appearing on the list administered by California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), a part of the California Environmental Protection Agency. The list includes naturally occurring and man-made chemicals. Many of the chemicals listed under Proposition 65 have been routinely used in everyday consumer items like (thermoplastic elastomer coated) wires, cables, power cords, plugs and connectors for years without documented harm. On rare occasions, listed chemicals are even "delisted."
