How are warnings given and what do they say?
A. Warnings are issued in a variety of way such as labels on consumer products, signs at workplaces, notices at a rental complex, or notices published in a newspaper. Proposition 65 offers some safe harbor warning language for consumer products. For carcinogens that wording is: WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer. For reproductive toxins the language is WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.” Other safe harbor language has been established for occupational and environmental exposures, alcoholic beverages and restaurants. For more information on what language you should use in these instances, contact your local authorities or the OEHHA directly.
