Following a two-year rulemaking, the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) has revised its regulations for Proposition 65 Safe Harbor Warnings and, effective August 30, 2018, your company's Proposition 65 warnings for consumer products will require a statement with some combination of the elements contained in the following:
