Anybody including proposition 65 warning labels on their products utilizing vinyl (and adhesive, for that matter)?
I received a form letter from one of my customer’s home office yesterday, addressed to it’s vendors, regarding the requirement for products sold to them. Curious if anyone is/has addressed this.
I do the upholstery for a small fitness equipment manufacture. They ship machines to all 50 states and countries all over the world. I've never heard of the prop. 65 and I don't believe the manufacturer has either. I suppose this equipment isn't considered home or office furniture. Though many professional teams use this equipment in their gyms, it's also in tons of college and high school gyms. I just finished pads for 80 or so machines that went to Japan. None of the pads have warning labels. Again maybe it has something to do with the Furniture designation.
If you really need it, call you material supplier I'm pretty sure they have msds sheets on everything. Maybe they would know more about it anyway
Im also a parts manager for a chevrolet dealership and ive been seeing these labels on everything from GM. Also had one on shippment from albright supply. Im not sure why but have been just noticing them within the last few months.
Most of my work is on semi trucks. None of the factory seat upholstery I’ve removed has any warnings on the labels, but they’re all at least 2 years old.
I discussed with one of my suppliers and they admitted they’ve seen some warnings on some of the invoices from their distributors.
I think this can be summarized by an attorney’s comment I read in an article basically calling it a lawyer’s way of “covering one’s behind” in light of recent legislation being enforced in California.
After searching parts for customers, cars I've been seeing warning labels on the websites everywhere. It's a California thing... If you work in California you may want to stick every warning label known to man on everything you touch, just to protect yourself from frivolous law suits!
There are stickers posted on our building that state there are trace elements in the building that are known to cause cancer in the state of California.
We label every package that leaves our building with a PRO 65 warning, we are in Mississippi.
It's park of the clean water act, It's all about the label, if you sell something and it ends up in California they can sue you if it does not have the label. They sued Starbuck coffee and won. It is a money making thing for CA. All you have to do is have the proper label and they will leave you alone. Thanks Chris
So basically if you put the label on everything whether or not it actually pertains to it, you’re better off ahead lol. I was just going to say also, I had never seen this before and ever since this thread it’s everywhere it seems. That or my eyes now see something familiar since this thread and notice it.
