California Proposition 65 is a law that requires all businesses to provide warnings to customers in California about significant exposures to chemicals that have been found to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
As an ecommerce business owner, it’s your responsibility to inform all your customers in California if the products you sell contain any of the chemicals mentioned in the California Proposition 65 warning list. Customers must see this information before they make a purchase.
There are several Printful products that contain the chemicals listed by the State of California. If you already sell any of these products in your store, please copy the corresponding warning message and add it to your product descriptions:
⚠️WARNING! This product can expose you to chemicals including BBP and/or lead, which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
- Tough Case for iPhone®, Clear Case for iPhone®, Snap Case for iPhone®, Tough Case for Samsung®, Snap Case for Samsung®, Clear Case for Samsung®, Rubber Case for AirPods®, Laptop Sleeve, and All-Over Print Case for AirPods®
⚠️WARNING! This product can expose you to chemicals including Bisphenol A (BPA), which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
⚠️WARNING! This product can expose you to chemicals including BBP and/or lead, which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
When you push these products to your store, you now have the option to automatically include a warning in your product description. You can choose to disable this warning, but the information should still be communicated to your customers on your website before they make a purchase.
If you don’t display a warning next to your products, you may be liable under California Proposition 65.
