What is Proposition 65?
Proposition 65 (the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986) is a California law that requires businesses to provide warnings about significant exposures to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Why you may see a warning on our products
Some gasket materials can contain components such as carbon black, nickel, chromium, and petroleum-based compounds. Handling or installation may lead to exposures regulated by Proposition 65. While our products are manufactured to precise standards and typical use is not expected to result in harmful exposure, we provide the warning to comply with California law and to support informed choice.
