Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act

The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, also known as Proposition 65, is a California law enacted in 1986. Its main purpose is to protect public health by requiring the state to maintain a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm. Businesses must provide clear warnings if their products or facilities expose people to these harmful substances. This law encourages safer environmental practices and informs consumers about potential risks, allowing them to make knowledgeable choices about the products they use and their surroundings.
