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 Office 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 fines under this law, if we don't include this warning.
Should I worry?
We realize you may be worried finding 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 finding at least one warning. In fact, even the Disney Land
Resort has a Proposition 65 warning:
