RENO, NV / ACCESS Newswire / September 29, 2025 / As California's Proposition 65 regulations evolve and grow, businesses need to follow ongoing regulatory additions from the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). Businesses can face significant consequences if they are not in compliance, and legal review can be an effective risk-mitigation strategy.
Proposition 65 challenges include, but are not limited to, the following:
Ongoing Chemical List: This list contains more than 900 hazardous chemicals and is regularly updated with new additions.
Exposure Thresholds: Determining "significant exposure" requires scientific expertise and legal confirmation.
Enforcement: The Attorney General's Office is responsible for enforcing Prop 65 and initiating investigations that can derail a business quite quickly over failure to adhere to regulations or if that adherence is not obvious enough to consumers and law enforcement.
Certain industries may be at higher risk, such as the following:
Food and Beverage
Cosmetics & Personal Care
Dietary Supplements
Consumer Products (toys, electronics, clothing, etc.)
Hospitality
Retail
"Understanding your California Prop 65 obligations and legal risks is an investment in your business and its long-term success. The enforcement of these regulations and the health risks to consumers are very high and require a proactive approach," says Ken LaMance, LegalMatch's General Counsel.
