California Proposition 65 requires products sold in California to provide clear warning labels if they contain hazardous substances known to the state. For accessories products, this includes but is not limited to the testing and certification of the following types of substances:
1. Heavy metals: Such as lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd). These substances may be found in metal accessories, metal parts of jewelry, or in glass or ceramics used for coloring.
2. Phthalates: These chemicals are commonly found in plastics and vinyl materials and may be used in some parts of the manufacturing of accessories.
3. Formaldehyde: May be found in textiles and some types of resins.
The standards for California 65 testing and certification of accessories usually include:
1. Product evaluation: Analyze product ingredients to determine whether they contain chemicals listed in California’s Proposition 65.
2. Laboratory testing: Product samples are sent to a certified laboratory for testing to determine the presence of restricted chemicals and whether their levels exceed legal limits.
3. Compliance labeling: If a product contains chemicals that should be warned, an appropriate warning label must be attached to the product.
4. Documents and records: Maintain complete records of materials and chemical substance use to prove product compliance.
Under California Proposition 65, manufacturers or distributors must provide warning labels on products if the level of harmful substances in the product exceeds specified safety thresholds. This includes providing clear warnings on product packaging, instructions or at the point of sale. In addition, e-commerce platforms such as Amazon may also require sellers to include California Proposition 65 warnings in their product listings.
