California’s Proposition 65, formally named the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, was originally intended to protect drinking water from contamination.

Now, Proposition 65 is updated annually and has expanded to cover nearly 900 chemicals found in consumer products. These chemicals are “known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm”.

Proposition 65 requires warnings on products that contain any of the listed chemicals or ingredients. The list includes wood dust, brass and various other everyday elements found in a variety of products such as jewelry, tableware, electrical cords, automobiles, cosmetics, and furniture.

These warnings are only required on products shipping into California but we have chosen to place them on all products as they are produced.

SafeRacks honors these compliance regulations and always puts the safety of our customers and employees first.
