California Proposition 65
Some products sold on this website can expose you to chemicals that the State of California has identified as causing cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. California's Proposition 65 requires us to give you this notice so you can make an informed choice. Below is the required warning, what it actually means, and the official state resources.
WARNING: Products on this website can expose you to chemicals, including chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
What is Proposition 65?
Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, is a California right to know law. It requires businesses to warn California residents about meaningful exposure to any of roughly 900 chemicals the state lists as causing cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. The warning is informational and does not mean a product is unsafe or illegal.
Why am I seeing this warning?
You are seeing it because we ship to California, and a warning is required whenever a product may expose you to a listed chemical above the state threshold. Listed chemicals appear in many everyday goods, so warnings are common across a wide range of product categories. Think of it as a notice about possible exposure, not a claim that you will be harmed.
Does a warning mean the product is dangerous?
No. A Proposition 65 warning is not a recall, a safety defect notice, or a statement that a product breaks any safety standard. California sets its warning thresholds far below the levels shown to cause harm, so a warning signals possible exposure rather than certain risk. You decide what is right for you and the people in your household.
Where can I learn more?
The State of California publishes full program details, the current chemical list, and consumer guidance on reducing exposure. We follow the state's guidance and update our practices as the list changes, which happens at least once a year. Use the official resources below.
