Last week, the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) posted a new question and answer document on the new Proposition 65 Clear and Reasonable Warning regulations announced last year. The final rule, announced by OEHHA on September 2, 2016, will be effective on August 30, 2018.
The new rules include requirements for what constitutes a clear and reasonable warning under Proposition 65 and clarifies the warning responsibilities of retailers and manufacturers of consumer products. The new rules require that warning labels, for the first time, identify specific chemicals to which the consumer may be exposed.
