CALIFORNIA PROP 65

Proposition 65 (or Prop 65 for short), officially the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, is a law that requires warnings be provided to California consumers when they might be exposed to chemicals identified by California as causing cancer or reproductive toxicity. The warnings are intended to help California consumers make informed decisions about their exposures to these chemicals from the products they use. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) administers the Proposition 65 program and publishes the listed chemicals.

Prop 65 is a right-to-know law; it does not ban the sale of any products that contain these chemicals.

In 1986, California voters approved an initiative known as Proposition 65. Prop 65 requires the State to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. Prop 65 was designed to notify consumers if the products contain these chemicals so that they can make an informed decision about their purchases, even if the chemicals are only found in very small amounts.

Cosmic Element believes that Prop 65 is sometimes abused by plaintiff’s lawyers to profit from frivolous lawsuits. Many natural foods companies have been targeted and have chosen to include the Prop 65 warning on healthy foods to avoid litigation that could threaten their continued operations.

Naturally occurring elements such as lead and cadmium are found in the earth’s crust. Plants grown in the soil absorb nutrients, minerals, and elements from the soil. Therefore, there may be trace amounts of naturally occurring elements in grains, nuts, vegetables, fruits, and fish. We regularly evaluate our suppliers and personally consume the products we sell.

We hope this information helps address any concerns you may have about Prop 65 and the associated warnings.
