Sample Warnings and Translations For Businesses

The translations on this web page are provided as examples of Proposition 65 safe harbor warnings in languages other than English.  A business opting to provide a safe harbor warning pursuant to the Article 6 Clear and Reasonable Warnings regulations may need to provide warnings in a language other than English if consumer information for a consumer product or signage for a facility is provided in a language other than English.  A business should refer to the safe harbor methods and content corresponding to the exposure type for which the business is providing a warning.

To identify an endpoint (cancer, reproductive harm, or both) for a listed chemical, please check the chemical page on the Proposition 65 list.

Please note that when a warning symbol is required, where the sign, label or shelf tag for a consumer product is not printed using the color yellow, the warning symbol may be printed in black and white.
