Overview
Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, requires manufacturers and other businesses to inform consumers about potential exposure to chemicals that are known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. During this webinar, speakers will discuss new and emerging issues regarding the Prop 65 legislation in California. Do the new regulations that went into effect really change the underlying law? Where are the real changes happening? Panelists will also discuss preemption issues, the standards used to place chemicals on the list, impacts for retailers and suppliers, and more.
