Note: This information is developing and we will update accordingly.
-
What is Prop65?
The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, often known as California's Proposition 65. The purpose of the law is to alert Californians to potential chemical exposure that could impair their reproductive system or cause cancer. Every seller of consumer goods to citizens of California, including online retailers like Amazon Sellers, must abide by the legislation. Compliance with this regulation frequently necessitates giving particular warnings to California consumers regarding their exposure to certain chemicals. The Proposition 65 list currently includes well than 1,000 compounds, and more are being added every year.
-
Does the 10 and under employee rule apply here?
Unfortunately, no. Despite the fact that the seller might have fewer than 10 workers and be protected from Prop 65 because of this, Amazon has more than 10 workers, and the Business Solutions Agreement the seller signed calls for the seller to defend Amazon.
-
Is there insurance for Prop65 violations?
Yes, but it is not a common policy due to the risk involved. We are currently vetting companies that offer this type of policy and will update this page and our community once we find reputable solutions.
-
Does this apply to businesses outside of the U.S. but selling on Amazon.com?
Yes, this applies to any business selling products on Amazon.com in the U.S.
