Summary
Prop 65 Business FAQ restructured from narrative format into Q&A format with improved navigation. Underlying warning requirements unchanged; no new regulatory mandates introduced.
Why it matters
Easier accessibility to Prop 65 compliance guidance may reduce seller errors, but compliance obligations remain identical. No new restrictions or deadlines created by this change.
Recommended action
Review updated FAQ structure for faster reference during labeling and packaging decisions. No immediate compliance action needed unless warnings already non-compliant.
How are safe harbor warnings provided for consumer product exposures?
If a consumer product has exterior packaging, is a warning label required on both the packaging and on the product itself?
Can a business provide a safe harbor warning in an owner’s manual?
Can a general Proposition 65 safe harbor warning be provided at each public entrance to a store instead of providing separate warnings for specific consumer product exposures?
Which American National Standards Institute (ANSI) International Organization for Standardization (ISO) number is required for the yellow warning symbol?
If a business does not otherwise use yellow on a sign, label, or shelf tag, can the business print the warning symbol in black and white?
What is the minimum type size for safe harbor consumer product exposure warnings?
Section 25601(b) requires safe harbor warnings to identify "one or more" listed chemicals for which the warning is being provided. If a business determines that there may be an exposure to five listed chemicals requiring a Proposition 65 warning, must all five chemicals be named in the warning?
Is it acceptable to use chemical acronyms in a safe harbor warning? As an example, if a product requires a warning for "Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP)," is it acceptable to identify only “DEHP” in the warning content instead of the full chemical name?
When can a business use a short-form warning?
What content should be in a short-form warning? Must a chemical name be included in a short-form warning?
Can a business provide a short-form warning instead of a specific product, chemical, or area exposure warning provided in the regulations (“tailored warning”)?
