California Proposition 65 Warning

California Proposition 65 requires businesses to give a clear and reasonable warning before exposing anyone in California to chemicals the state lists as causing cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. This page explains how that requirement may apply to the products sold here, and where we are waiting on facts only the operator holds.

How the requirement works

Proposition 65 is a disclosure rule, not a safety standard. It applies to a very long list of substances, and the list changes over time. A warning does not automatically mean a product is unsafe, and the absence of a warning does not automatically mean a product is free of every listed substance. What the rule requires is that a shopper in California is told when an exposure above the stated threshold is possible.

How it may apply to our catalogue

Adult products can contain components where listed substances appear in trace amounts: coatings and finishes, plated metal trim, printed inks on packaging, soldered electronics inside a rechargeable unit, and soft plastic parts. Where a warning is required for a specific item, the warning must sit on the product page and on the packaging, and the wording must match what the supplier has determined for that item.

What we will not do

We will not paste a generic Proposition 65 warning across the entire catalogue as a shortcut, and we will not guess at a supplier determination that has not been provided. An over-broad warning trains shoppers to ignore the ones that matter, and an invented one is worse than none.

Operator confirmation required

Whether a Proposition 65 warning is required for each item, and the exact wording and placement of that warning, depends on supplier documentation and the operator identity behind this store. That determination must be supplied by the operator before this store accepts live orders. Until final wording is confirmed, no Proposition 65 warning text is published on this site, and the operator must confirm that no warning is required before publishing the catalogue in California.

How to ask about a specific item

If you are in California and want to know whether a particular listing carries a warning, contact us with the product name and we will tell you what documentation we hold for it. Where we do not hold a determination, we will say so plainly rather than speculate.
