CA Prop 65

Prop 65:

Rubber-Cal is fully committed to providing safe and environmentally friendly products to our customers. We pride

ourselves in being an eco-friendly firm with a large variety of products made from recycled and reclaimed rubber

materials. We offer rubber flooring, rubber mats, rubber doormats, and even industrial rubber sheet made from

recycled rubber. Recycled rubber and reclaimed rubber are for the most part by-products of used tire crumb. And

since the origin of the exact tire and/or rubber material recycled and used for the sake of the production of a specific

rubber parts are unknown, and since it is not feasible to test every tire that is recycled, that Rubber-Cal has chosen to

provide a warning based on the possibility that one or more of the chemicals listed by Prop 65 may be an ingredient

in tires.

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, better known as Proposition 65, lists over 750

chemicals that are known to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Proposition 65 requires manufactures to provide a “clear and reasonable” warning before knowingly and intentionally

exposing anyone to a listed chemical. A “clear and reasonable” warning indicates:

That the manufacturer has evaluated the exposure and has concluded that the product contains a listed chemical that exceeds

the "no significant risk level" (as defined in Proposition 65); or

The manufacturer has chosen to provide a warning simply based on the knowledge about the presence of a listed chemical

without attempting to evaluate the exposure.

Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 was a California ballot initiative (voted on

by the public) and requires the governor to publish an annual list of chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive

harm. The latest list includes hundreds of chemicals from A-alpha-C to zileuton. Please see the below link to the

California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment which puts Prop 65 in “Plain Language.”
