PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

As you may or may not be aware, the requirements for product warnings under California’s “Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986,” also known as “Proposition 65,” have changed and will go into effect August 30, 2018. These new regulations impose additional obligations on both manufacturers, supply-chain partners, including product distributors & retailers. The new regulations are included in the link below:

California Code of Regulations, Title 27, Article 6 >>

WHAT IS PROP 65?

Prop 65 applies to any company operating in California, selling products in California, or manufacturing products that may be sold in or brought into California. It mandates that the Governor of California maintain and publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, and/or other reproductive harm. The list, which is updated annually, includes hundreds of chemicals found in many everyday items. The purpose of Prop 65 is to inform the public about exposure to these chemicals.

Prop 65 does not ban the sale of products containing these chemicals but instead requires warnings on any product, product packaging, or literature with the product. For more information on Prop 65 click the link below:

As you know, Wind-Lock is not a manufacturer. However, Wind-Lock has taken a proactive approach to protect our clients and customers.
