Proposition 65 Information
What is California Proposition 65?
Also known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, California Proposition 65 is a law that requires warning to consumers if a product exposes consumers to a wide variety of chemicals known by the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and/or other reproductive harm. Proposition 65 applies only in California.
Why do we place a Proposition 65 warning on our products?
The Prop 65 warning signifies one of two things:
- WAC Landscape Lighting evaluated the product and determined that the product is above the “no significant risk level”
OR
- WAC Landscape Lighting has not evaluated the exposure level of the product, and the warning is provided based on the knowledge about the presence of a listed chemical.
Most WAC Landscape Lighting products are below the Prop 65 level of concern; however, out of general caution, WAC Landscape Lighting has chosen to place the Proposition 65 warning on all of our products.
