PROPOSITION_65

The State of California enacted The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, commonly referred to as “Proposition 65”. Proposition 65 is a far-reaching law, and applies to any company that sells products to California consumers.

Proposition 65 requires warning labels on any product that contains or may contain any of the over 800 chemicals that California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment considers harmful. Many of the chemicals listed under Proposition 65 have been routinely used in everyday consumer items for years without documented harm.

The penalties for not complying with Proposition 65 are steep. As a result of the steep penalties, Rainbow Sandals and many other manufacturers have elected to provide the Proposition 65 notice out of an abundance of caution.
