California Proposition 65
What is California Proposition 65?
California Proposition 65, officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, is a regulation that requires businesses to provide warnings about significant exposures to chemicals that are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Our Commitment to Compliance
At VividMe Boutique, we prioritize customer safety and strive to comply with all regulations, including Proposition 65. Some of the materials used in our products may contain chemicals listed under Proposition 65, and we are committed to transparency in disclosing such information.
Understanding Proposition 65 Warnings
- Why Warnings Are Issued: The State of California requires businesses to notify customers about significant chemical exposures, even if the risk is minimal, so individuals can make informed decisions.
- Scope of Chemicals: Proposition 65 covers over 900 chemicals, including those found in household goods, electronics, and apparel.
Our Approach to Compliance
- Product Assessment
- We thoroughly review our products to determine if any materials contain chemicals listed under Proposition 65.
- This includes evaluating manufacturing processes and sourcing practices.
- Providing Warnings
- If a product contains a listed chemical above the safe harbor threshold, we include clear and visible warnings on the product page and packaging.
- Example Warning:
“⚠ WARNING: This product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.”
- Ongoing Monitoring
- Proposition 65 is updated annually, and we continually monitor the list to ensure our compliance.
- Any newly listed chemicals are assessed to determine their presence in our products.
