You might have seen Proposition 65 warning labels at hotels, banks, restaurants,
and even at theme parks. 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 saw 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.
