California Proposition 65 compliance is becoming increasingly complex as new chemicals are added to the regulated list and enforcement expectations continue to rise. Consumer goods brands and manufacturers selling into the California and U.S. markets must proactively manage compliance risks to remain retail‑ready and protect brand reputation.

Eurofins Softlines & Hardlines invites you to join our expert‑led webinar, designed to help companies understand current requirements, recent regulatory updates, and practical compliance strategies.

 

Why California Proposition 65 Compliance Matters

California Proposition 65, formally known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, requires businesses to provide warnings when products expose consumers to certain listed chemicals. The list of regulated substances continues to expand, increasing the potential risk of non‑compliant products, enforcement actions, and retailer rejection.

Failure to comply with Proposition 65 can result in:

  • Costly settlements and penalties
  • Product recalls or relabeling
  • Retailer non‑acceptance
  • Reputational damage

This webinar will help you navigate these risks with confidence.
