Selling products in California must provide “clear and reasonable warnings” before knowingly exposing people to any chemical on the list, unless the expected level of exposure would pose no significant cancer risk. This means that not every chemical on the list has been proven to the worldwide scientific community to actually cause cancer in people. Not all of the cancer-related substances on the OEHHA list are considered to be known human carcinogens (known to cause cancer in people) by the organizations above. (To learn more about these organizations and what they do, see Determining if Something Is a Carcinogen.) The State of California can also make its own determinations about specific substances. Organizations designated as authoritative bodies by the state of California include the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC, which is part of the World Health Organization), the US National Toxicology Program (NTP), and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), among others. One way is if it’s considered by an ‘authoritative body’ to cause cancer in humans or lab animals.

There are several ways a substance can be added to the OEHHA list. The complete list can be found on the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) website at It is intended to help Californians make informed decisions about protecting themselves from chemicals that could cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.Īs part of the law, the state is required to publish a list of chemicals that are “known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.” The list is updated at least once a year and now contains more than 900 different chemicals. What is proposition 65?Ĭalifornia’s Proposition 65, also called the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, first became law in the state in 1986. The warning labels can be found on many kinds of products, such as electrical wires, jewelry, padlocks, dishes, flashlights, and pesticides, to name just a few. But people all over the country might see them because many companies put the labels on all items that contain these chemicals, even if they’re going to be sold in other states. Warning - May Form Explosive Peroxide - 1.5' x 2.5' Adhesive VinylĬorrosive Base - Cabinet or Secondary Containment Sign - 3.Labels warning that a product contains chemicals that may cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm are now required on many household items sold in California. SDS (Safety Data Sheet) Projecting Sign - 8' x 12' 3D In addition, at no cost, HCL can quickly produce a fully compliant OSHA HazCom label for any product requiring secondary container labeling. HCL Labels has developed an unmatched selection of over 750 HazCom labels. Ref.: OSHA Hazard Communication Compliance Guide - see Section 3 Ensure Containers are Labeled.

It is a snapshot of the hazards and protective information related to the chemical, and a summary of the more detailed information available on the SDS. The label is an immediate type of warning since it is present in the work area, right on the actual container of a hazardous chemical.
