Prop 65 is a regulation in the state of California that requires businesses to provide warnings for products containing chemicals that the state of California has identified as carcinogens or reproductive toxins. Recent amendments to this law require any retailers selling to California residents to list this warning on their website. There are currently approximately 900 substances on the Proposition 65 list, ranging from cigarette smoke and asbestos to aspirin and phthalates.
Phthalates (THAL-ates) are chemicals that make plastic soft and flexible. You can find them in cosmetics, shampoo, makeup, adhesives, and even fast food. Sunday Afternoons adheres to Prop 65 requirements in labeling our products. For example, if the leather used for a hat decoration was treated with a substance containing phthalates, our label will carry this warning.
