Why do your radar detectors have a CA Proposition 65 Warning?

Many of our product carry a standard California Proposition 65 Warning sticker as part of our ongoing effort to comply with California's Proposition 65 law.  Test results conducted on our products showed that none tested above Proposition 65 levels, but we made the decision to add this warning as a precaution moving forward. 

What is Proposition 65?

Proposition 65 is a California law that applies to companies selling products in California. Proposition 65 requires warnings if a product contains any listed chemical present above very low levels. Proposition 65’s warning standards are among the most stringent in the world.  Proposition 65 is not a product safety law, but rather a “right-to-know” law. Businesses are entitled to provide warnings to comply with Proposition 65.

There are over 800 chemicals on the Proposition 65 list, which is administered by California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), a part of the California Environmental Protection Agency. The list includes naturally occurring and man-made chemicals.  Proposition 65 warnings can be seen for a wide variety of everyday consumer products, including electronic equipment, and warnings can be seen posted throughout California in a variety of establishments such as buildings, hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, and stores.
