摘要

It has always seemed that everything about California's Proposition 65 was weird-as in, unusual, unexpected, a tad askew. I can think of at least four such things. First, though it is a state law, it was passed in 1986 by the citizens of the state as a ballot initiative, not by the state legislature. It's an unusual procedure, though more common in California than in other states. Second, it cobbles together two very different programs, one aimed at protecting the state's water supplies by placing various obligations on businesses and people within California, and the other aimed at letting people in California know when they are being knowingly exposed to chemicals the state has concluded cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. Yes, that latter obligation falls on businesses located anywhere in the world if their product ends up in California and exposes people to those chemicals. While the law has exemptions from the warning requirement for smaller businesses with fewer than 10 employees and government agencies, for example, it is really quite broad in its applicability and scope, applying to chemicals that are used in essentially all different kinds of products and contexts. Also, the obligation to warn is not restricted to consumers you expose to listed chemicals, but also to workers in the state.
