Understanding Proposition 65

WARNING: Cancer and reproductive harm

1. What is Proposition 65? It is a California law that requires the State of California to  publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or  other reproductive harm, officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and  Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.  Updated annually, this list has grown  to include over 900 chemicals.  Under Proposition 65, businesses are  required to provide Californians a warning if their products,  activities, or establishments might expose Californians to a chemical  that is on that list. For more information on Proposition 65, please visit the OEHHA website 
2. I don't live in California, Why am I seeing this Warning? Adventure Ready Brands makes every effort to comply with every  state and every federal law and their regulatory standards.  To comply  with California Law, we provide a warning on any product that contains a  Proposition 65 listed chemical unless we know for certain California  has determined such a product does not require a warning.  Because we  cannot be certain that something we ship to Maine will not be sold in  California, we choose to put the warning on all such products,  regardless of their final destination.     
3. Does the warning mean the Product is unsafe? No.  The fact that a product has California’s Proposition 65  warning does not mean that the product is unsafe.  Coffee shops, hotel  lobbies, amusement parks, gasoline, and automobiles all have Proposition  65 warnings in California. Thus, the State of California has listed  chemicals that the US Food and Drug Administration and the US  Environmental Protection Agency, among others, have deemed safe. In this  way, some authorities categorize Proposition 65 as a ‘right to know’  law rather than a true product ‘safety’ law.  
4. So how does Adventure Ready Brands determine if one of its products should have a California Proposition 65 warning? Adventure Ready Brands will place a Proposition 65 warning on a  product or on a webpage if a product contains a chemical that California  has listed as a reproductive harm risk, and there is no evidence that a  dose 1,000 times greater would not cause observable reproductive harm  in test animals, or has listed as a cancer risk, and there is no  evidence that fewer than 1 in 100,000 individuals exposed to the  chemical would have an increased risk of cancer as a result of that  exposure over a period of 70 years. 
5. If the warning doesn’t automatically mean “unsafe” what does it mean? The “cancer” short warning confirms that if you are exposed to the  chemical every day for 70 years, it could, theoretically, increase your  chances of getting cancer by .001%.  As stated in the Californian Law:   For chemicals that are listed as causing cancer, the "no significant  risk level” is defined as the level of exposure that would result in not  more than one excess case of cancer in 100,000 individuals exposed to  the chemical over a 70-year lifetime. The “reproductive harm” short warning confirms that test animals  did not show signs of birth defects or reproductive harm unless they  were exposed to 1,000 times the dose indicated on the list.  The  Californian Law states that chemicals that are listed as causing birth  defects or reproductive harm, the “no significant risk level” is  determined by identifying the highest dose level which does not exhibit  observable reproductive harm in test animals and dividing the exposure  level by 1,000. 
6. Does Adventure Ready Brands engage in animal testing? No.  Adventure Ready Brands does not engage in animal testing.   Industry data and other historical data have been relied upon for some  product safety compliance. 
7. Can you summarize/answer the question Why is there a Proposition 65 Warning? California law requires that a warning must be given to  Californians unless exposure is below what California considers  “significant.”  For birth defects or other reproductive harms,  California has defined “significant” as exposure 1,000 times less than  an amount which would produce observable harm (0.1%).  For cancer  related harms, California has defined “significant” as a rate of  exposure over the course of 70 years that might result in 1 additional  incidence of cancer in 100,000 (0.001%). Our products are in compliance with all state and federal  regulatory standards and proper consumer use of our products fall well  below the exposure levels required to increase chances of cancer, birth  defects or reproductive harm.
