SGS SA SG 169/23
Multiple settlements have been reached for a range of consumer products containing Prop 65 chemicals. Many of these agreements allow a Prop 65 warning as an alternative.
California Proposition 65 (Prop 65) is the 'Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986', a ballot initiative passed overwhelmingly by Californian residents in November 1986. It requires the state to publish a list of chemicals that are known to cause cancer, birth defects or reproductive harm.
