P65Warnings.ca.gov
Definition
P65Warnings.ca.gov is the official California state website maintained by OEHHA that consumers and businesses are directed to in all Proposition 65 safe harbour warnings. This website provides: consumer information about specific chemicals and their health effects; product category fact sheets; business resources; the full Proposition 65 chemical list; frequently asked questions; and links to regulatory and enforcement information. All Proposition 65 safe harbour warning formats (long-form and short-form) must include a reference to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov or the relevant subcategory URL (e.g., www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/food, www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/motor-vehicle-parts).

Title 27 CCR §§25600 et seq. (all safe harbour warning formats reference this URL); OEHHA Proposition 65 regulations.
Practical Explanation (Compliance Context)
Businesses using Proposition 65 safe harbour warnings must ensure their warnings include the correct P65Warnings.ca.gov URL. For product-specific warnings (e.g., food, motor vehicle parts), the specific subcategory URL should be used as specified in the regulations. Businesses should periodically verify that the P65Warnings.ca.gov website remains operational and that its content accurately reflects the chemical information relevant to their products. Using an outdated or incorrect URL in a warning format may disqualify the safe harbour protection.
