3 substances listed under California Proposition 65

Effective 27 January 2023, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) added the following substances to California’s Proposition 65 list:

  1. 1-Bromo-3-chloropropane

  2. 1-Butyl glycidyl ether

  3. Glycidyl methacrylate

California Proposition 65 does not ban or restrict the use of listed chemicals, however suppliers of products containing a listed substance must label the product accordingly. The purpose of Proposition 65 is to notify consumers that they are being exposed to chemicals that are known to cause cancer and/or reproductive toxicity. Consumers can decide on their own if they want to purchase or use the product. A Proposition 65 warning does not necessarily mean a product is in violation of any product-safety standards or requirements.
