What is Proposition 65?<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

In November 1986, California voters approved Proposition 65, also known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act. Proposition 65 requires businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. The statute reads: “No person in the course of doing business shall knowingly discharge or release a chemical known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity into water or onto or into land where such chemical passes or probably will pass into any source of drinking water\u2026” (CA Health and Safety Code, Section 25249.5) “No person in the course of doing business shall knowingly and intentionally expose any individual to a chemical known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity without first giving a clear and reasonable warning\u2026” (CA Health and Safety Code, Section 25249.6)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n

What does Proposition 65 require?<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

Proposition 65 requires the Governor to publish a list of chemicals that are known to the state of California to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity, and to update this list at least once a year. The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) maintains the list of chemicals regulated under Proposition 65. (CA Code of Regulations, Title 27, Section 27001) Under Proposition 65, businesses are required to give a \u201cclear and reasonable\u201d warning before knowingly exposing anyone to a listed chemical above a specified level. ELECOM has chosen to label all of their products as one of the following:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"WARNING:<\/strong> This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>
\"\"WARNING:<\/strong> This product can expose you to chemicals including XXXXX (XX), which is [are] known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

What types of chemicals are on the Proposition 65 list?<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

The list contains a wide range of naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals that include additives or ingredients in pesticides, common household products, food, drugs, dyes, or solvents. Listed chemicals may also be used in manufacturing and construction, or they may be byproducts of chemical processes, such as motor vehicle exhaust. The full list can be found at oehha.ca.gov\/proposition-65\/proposition-65-list<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

Are your products safe to use?<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

ELECOM\u2019s products conform to all federal government regulations and national product standards.
\nProposition 65 is a “right to know” law based on the notion that members of the public in the state of California have a right to know when they are being exposed to listed carcinogens or reproductive toxins. The law was designed to allow individual consumers and their families to decide for themselves whether to assume the chemical exposure risks of purchasing particular products or frequenting particular premises.<\/p>\n

We believe our products are not harmful when used as designed. We provide the warning in order to comply with this California right-to-know law.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n

Where can I get more information?<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) administers the Proposition 65 program. OEHHA, which is part of the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA), determines in many cases whether chemicals meet the scientific and legal requirements for placement on the Proposition 65 list, and administers regulations that govern warnings and other aspects of Proposition 65. If you have specific questions on the administration or implementation of Proposition 65, you can contact OEHHA’s Proposition 65 program at P65.Questions@oehha.ca.gov, or by phone at (916) 445-6900. For additional information, visit www.p65warnings.ca.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n

I purchased this product outside of California; why it is included?<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

ELECOM products are sold nationwide. It would be extremely difficult and costly to determine which products will be ultimately sold or brought into California. Therefore, to ensure compliance with Proposition 65 requirements, we have decided to include these warnings on all of our products, regardless of origin.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n
