Proposition 65
for California Residents

Proposition 65 is an initiative applicable to California, creating awareness about exposure to potential harmful chemicals in consumer products. Voters in California approved the initiative in 1986 and has became the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, but is still commonly referred to as Prop65. The act maintains a list of potentially toxic chemicals that are known to cause cancer or reproductive harm. The list currently contains over 800 chemicals and is updated at least once a year. Proposition 65 requires businesses to make Californians aware of chemicals in the products they buy. This is intended to allow Californians to make informed decisions about the products they keep in their homes or workplaces. Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Prop65) is administered by. The OEHHA is part of the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA), who also assess chemicals being considered for Prop65 based on scientific data.

Proposition 65 requires clear labelling to be placed on products, their packaging or user guides, of products containing chemicals notifiable under the program. You will also see the WARNING signifier on the Opera website within the product page for any affected products.

The only product known to Opera to contain chemicals notifiable under Prop65 is the Solo Profiling Bed.

According to the state of California: A chemical is listed if it has been classified as a reproductive toxicant or carcinogen by an "authoritative" organization on the subject. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the National Toxicology Program, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer are considered authoritative for carcinogens. For reproductive toxicants, appropriate authorities include the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, and International Agency for Research on Cancer. Chemicals will also be listed if they are required to be labeled or identified as a carcinogen or as a reproductive toxicant by an agency of the State or Federal Government.
