CA Prop 65

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
We at Swisher care about our customers and want to keep you informed. You
may find a label on some of our products like the warning label below. This
warning is required by the California Proposition 65 (Prop 65), which is meant to
notify California residents of exposure to Prop 65 chemicals.
What is this warning?
California's Proposition 65 (Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of
1986) entitles California consumers to special warnings for products that contain
chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm if those products expose consumers to such chemicals
above certain threshold levels.
Proposition 65 does not ban the sale of products containing these chemicals, but
instead requires warnings on any product, product packaging, or literature with
the product. Please note that a Proposition 65 warning does not mean a product
is in violation of any product safety standards or requirements. In fact, the
California government has clarified that a Proposition 65 warning “is not the
same as a regulatory decision that a product is ‘safe’ or ‘unsafe.’” Many of these
chemicals have been used in everyday products for years without documented
harm.
Many of our products are powered by gasoline engines. Gasoline engine
exhaust contains condensates/extracts, as well as carbon monoxide, both of
which are listed in the OEHHA (The Office of Environmental Health Hazard
Assessment) list of chemicals that require this warning in California.
