California Prop 65
CALIFORNIA PROP 65
Important Information for California Shoppers
California’s Proposition 65, also known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, requires businesses to provide warnings if their products may expose users to certain chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. These warnings apply when exposure levels exceed thresholds set by the State of California.
For products made with or containing certain plastics, a general warning may appear as follows:
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
California Proposition 65 Warning
Proposition 65 warnings are now common on many consumer products sold in California, including electronics, apparel, furniture, and fitness equipment. These labels are required when a product contains certain chemicals identified by the state, even if those chemicals are present in trace amounts.
At MultiSports DBA Get RXd, we take product safety seriously. Our equipment is designed and manufactured to meet or exceed safety standards in both the U.S. and Europe. While we stand behind the quality and integrity of our products, we also recognize the importance of complying with California law. Providing this notice is part of our commitment to transparency and legal compliance under Proposition 65, a law enacted in 1986 to inform Californians about potential exposures to listed chemicals.
Understanding the Proposition 65 Warning
Seeing a Proposition 65 warning does not mean that a product is unsafe or that it will cause cancer or reproductive harm. The warning simply indicates that the product contains one or more chemicals listed by the State of California as potentially harmful—if exposure exceeds very specific thresholds.
California’s list includes over 900 substances found in many everyday products, from household items to food packaging. A product can carry the warning even if it complies with all federal and international safety regulations.
To give perspective: for cancer-related substances, the law defines “no significant risk” as a lifetime exposure level that would cause no more than one additional case of cancer in 100,000 people over 70 years. For chemicals linked to reproductive harm, the limit is set at one one-thousandth (1/1000) of the highest dose that has shown no observable effect in humans or animals. On other words, the thresholds are extremely conservative and intended to inform, not alarm, consumers.
Why we provides this warning
California law requires businesses to issue Proposition 65 warnings when applicable, and non-compliance can result in significant legal and financial consequences, including lawsuits filed by private individuals or law firms acting in the name of the state.
To avoid potential legal risks and to remain transparent with our customers, MultiSports DBA Get RXd includes these warnings on relevant products, even when the actual level of exposure is well within legal and safety limits. This proactive step is a common practice among manufacturers across many industries. Because our products are sold and shipped nationwide, you may see Proposition 65 warnings outside of California as well. This ensures full compliance with state regulations, no matter where our products are delivered.
