What is Prop 65 and the warning on Vantec products packaging? [#02012020]

What is Proposition 65?

Proposition 65 requires businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. These chemicals can be in the products that Californians purchase, in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment. By requiring that this information be provided, Proposition 65 enables Californians to make informed decisions about their exposures to these chemicals.

Why the Prop 65 warning label?

Warnings are based on a compile list of chemicals published by the State of California (over 800 and growing) which may pose an increased risk of cancer and/or reproductive harm if exposed to minimum levels, also known as Safe Harbor levels are exceeded. These warnings are widespread within California and can be found across many industries including food and beverage sales, clothing sales, furniture sales, automotive repair, electronics, etc.

Should I be concerned about the safety of your products?

Although you should always be aware and take notice of any product warning, a Prop 65 warning does not mean that a product is unsafe. The State of California’s website states, “A Prop 65 warning does not necessarily mean that a product violates any product-safety standards or requirements.”
