Summary
Prop 65 FAQ restructured into Q&A format for internet and catalog warnings. No new requirements added—existing regulatory guidance on warning placement, timing, and chain-of-commerce responsibility restated for clarity and navigation.
Why it matters
Sellers handling Prop 65-regulated products benefit from clearer guidance on internet/catalog warning methods. However, this is presentation-only; underlying compliance obligations for warning placement and 60-day update windows remain unchanged.
