What you'll get

Julia Dolloff, the Proposition 65 ombudsperson at California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, walks through the state's warning law: who must warn, how a business decides whether a listed chemical is present at a level that needs a warning, which label, shelf sign and online formats count as a proper warning, and recent rule changes. The slides say businesses with fewer than 10 employees are exempt by law but can be bound by a retailer's contract, so watch it before you sign a vendor agreement with a store that ships to California.

Do this week

Look through any vendor agreement from a store that ships to California for language about Proposition 65 or complying with California law, and ask a lawyer about anything you are asked to sign.
