What is Proposition 65?
Proposition 65 is a California law that requires warning labels on products that may contain one of
more than 800-plus chemicals or ingredients that the California Ofce of Environmental Health Hazard
Assessment (OEHHA) has deemed to cause cancer or other reproductive toxicity. Chemicals and
elements on this list include wood dust, brass, and other everyday substances, which can be found in
very common household items, such as: lamps, tableware, jewelry, crystal glasses, electric cords,
beauty products, automobiles, and furniture.
Why Did I Find a Proposition 65 Warning on My Home Goods Product?
We include Proposition 65 warnings on all of our products because there is always a chance that one
of the 800-plus common chemicals and ingredients listed under this law could potentially be on our
furniture or packing materials. We risk large nes under this law, if we don't include this warning.
Should I worry?
We realize you may be worried nding this warning on our products, but we want to reassure you that
the hazardous exposure limits for any of these chemicals have never been found on furniture products
that we’ve shipped to our customers. Additionally, this warning label is very common and can be found
on almost every piece of furniture sold in the state of California.
Just How Common Are Proposition 65 Warnings?
Proposition 65 warnings have become so common in California that it is hard to take a trip to a local
bank, grocery store, or restaurant without nding at least one warning. In fact, even the Disney Land
