01 — The Foundation

What is California Proposition 65?

The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) is in charge of administering Proposition 65 — also known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.

Proposition 65 governs substances that California has officially designated as causing cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Businesses are prohibited from intentionally releasing certain compounds into drinking water sources, or onto land where the substances can enter drinking water sources.

The law also forbids companies from purposefully exposing people to listed chemicals without giving them a reasonable and unambiguous warning.
