Additional details:

Proposition 65 requires businesses doing business in California to provide a “clear and reasonable” warning before knowingly and intentionally exposing anyone to a chemical listed by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) as causing cancer or reproductive toxicity. OEHHA+1
-
The warning may apply when a product exposes a consumer in California, unless the business can show the exposure is significantly below safe harbor levels established by OEHHA or that no significant risk or reproductive harm would result. Proposition 65 Warnings Website+1

For online sales, the warning must be displayed in a manner that is clearly associated with the product prior to purchase if the product may expose a California consumer. Proposition 65 Warnings Website+1

Revised regulations require that, for short-form warnings used on or with products manufactured and marked after January 1, 2028, the name of at least one chemical must be identified in the warning. QIMA Blog+1

Our position
At Kiesub Electronics, we make every effort to assess our products for compliance with Proposition 65. If any product we offer is required to carry a warning under Proposition 65, we will include the warning on the product label, packaging and/or product listing (as appropriate) to ensure consumers in California are notified accordingly.
If no specific chemical exposure warning appears on a product, it reflects our current assessment that the product either does not require a warning under Proposition 65 or that the exposure risk has not been determined to rise to the level requiring a warning.
Please note that addition of a warning does not indicate that a product is unsafe; rather it is a legal requirement in California under certain exposure conditions.
What you should do
If you are a resident of California or shipping a product to a California address and you have questions about a specific item, please contact us for more information. We will provide available information about chemicals in our supply chain or labeling status as feasible.
