California Proposition 65 Warning
What is Proposition 65?
Proposition 65, also known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, is a California law that requires businesses to provide warnings about significant exposures to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. This law applies to any company selling products in California, even if they are located outside the state.

Additional Information
Proposition 65 warnings are issued based on the potential for exposure, not necessarily the likelihood of harm. The presence of a warning does not mean that a product is unsafe when used as intended. Many businesses, including automotive and performance parts manufacturers, provide these warnings out of an abundance of caution to comply with California law.
