PROP 65 COMPLIANCE & INFORMATION - OUR FABRICS

You may come across some specifications on our fabrics that discusses Proposition 65. Please use the information below to understand what Proposition 65 is and what it means for our fabrics.

What is PROP 65?

"In 1986, California voters approved Proposition 65, an initiative to address their growing concerns about exposure to toxic chemicals.  That initiative is officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.  The law requires California to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity, and for businesses with 10 or more employees to provide warnings when they knowingly and intentionally cause significant exposures to listed chemicals.
This list currently includes more than 900 chemicals. Proposition 65 does not ban or restrict the sale of chemicals on the list.  The warnings are intended to help Californians make informed decisions about their exposures to these chemicals from the products they use and the places they go.
The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) administers the Proposition 65 program.
