The Importance of California 65 Certification:
Once a chemical substance is included in the Proposition 65 list, manufacturers and distributors will be required to comply with warnings within one year and cease chemical discharge to drinking water sources within 20 months. After this date, government or individual law enforcers, including individuals or organizations representing the public interest, may take legal action against those who fail to meet the standards.
Among the approximately 800 listed chemical substances, consumer goods containing lead have been receiving considerable attention in the past few years. Lead was classified as a reproductive toxic substance in 1987 and as a carcinogen in 1992. It can affect almost all organs of the human biological system, including the central nervous system (which can lead to dementia), and other symptoms include anemia, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, constipation, insomnia, irritability, headache, and fatigue. For children, lead can also affect physical growth and intellectual development.
