| Q | What is Proposition 65 in California? |
| A |
Meritline.com is concerned about product safety, specifically about the lead and chemical contents of some products. We try to ensure that all the products sold at Meritline.com comply with all applicable safety and health requirements. All the retailers who sell products in the State of California need to comply with the California law known as Proposition 65. Any of these products which may contain lead or certain other chemicals must be labeled with Prop.65 warning which states “PROP 65 WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.” A Proposition 65 warning is a notice which informs the consumer in California that a product in question may expose the consumer to any one of the hundreds of chemicals that are known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or birth defects.
California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65)
requires warnings to consumers if a product exposes consumers to a wide variety of
chemicals including lead and cadmium. California’s Office of Environmental Health
Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) has established the maximum daily exposure levels for
each chemical beyond which a consumer warning is required. Proposition 65 does not
ban any product; it simply requires warnings. Proposition 65 applies only in California,
and it covers all products distributed in the state.
To know more about Proposition 65:
-OEHHA California government official page
When I see a label written” PROP 65 WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.” How can I know the product is safe?
When a Proposition 65 warning is labeled on a product, it means that the company is issuing a warning that one or more listed chemicals may present in the product. A warning must be given unless the product can be certified the exposure it caused is “no significant risk”
With the product may contain carcinogens, the "no significant risk" level is defined as the level which is calculated to result in not more than one excess case of cancer in 100,000 individuals exposed over a 70-year lifetime. When you exposed to the chemical in question everyday for 70 years, theoretically, it will increase the chances of getting cancer by no more than 1 case in 100,000 individuals so exposed.
With the product may contain reproductive toxicants, the “no significant risk” level is defined as level of exposure which, even if multiplied by 1,000, will not produce birth defects or other reproductive harm.
|
| Q | Why Meritline labels a Proposition 65 warning on the products? |
| A | A Proposition 65 warning means one of two things: (1) the business has evaluated the exposure and has concluded that it exceeds the "no significant risk level"; or (2) the business has chosen to provide a warning simply based on its knowledge about the presence of a listed chemical without attempting to evaluate the exposure. Meritline has chosen to provide a warning based on our knowledge about the presence of a listed chemical without attempting to evaluate the exposure. For abundant caution, Meritline decided to place a Proposition 65 warning label even if the exposure of a product may be below the Proposition 65 level of concern, or could even be zero.
