    1. What is Prop 65?
    2. Collapse

    Proposition 65 requires businesses to notify Californians about the levels of chemicals in the products they purchase for their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment. By providing this information, Proposition 65 enables Californians to make informed decisions about protecting themselves from exposure to these chemicals.

    The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) administers the Proposition 65 program. OEHHA, which is part of the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA), also evaluates all currently available scientific information on substances considered for placement on the Proposition 65 list.

    For more information visit: http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/background/p65plain.html

    Please contact the Manufacturer for information regarding the products and ingredients listed under Prop 65.

    An error of "Do Not Honor" means that you need to contact your credit card issuer, or you have provided us incorrect credit information.
