Proposition 65 imposes strict penalties for noncompliance. Why has JKS Manufacturing decided to provide a warning? This includes compounds that are used in everyday life like vinyl, coatings, plastics, and much more. The Prop 65 warning can now be found on products that may contain a small amount of over 900 chemicals or ingredients that the OEHHA lists as a carcinogen or reproductive toxicant. It now includes over 900 chemicals and also pertains to (but is not limited to) exposure through touch, inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. While the proposition was created to protect drinking water sources from chemical contamination, the scope of the law has expanded over the years. Proposition 65 requires warnings to accompany any product that contains or may contain any of the chemicals appearing on the list administered by California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), a part of the California Environmental Protection Agency. 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. While we believe our products are not harmful when used as designed, and we rely on our suppliers to help with this effort, we also provide these warnings to comply with Proposition 65. The warning does not mean that our products will necessarily cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. 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”). JKS Manufacturing applies warning labels either on our product(s), the packaging containing our product(s) regarding CA Prop 65.
