Warning Symbol

With some exceptions, the warning symbol is a required element of safe harbor warning content.  The symbol consists of a black exclamation point in a yellow equilateral triangle with a bold, black outline.  The symbol must be placed to the left of the text of the warning in a size no smaller than the height of the word “WARNING”.  If the sign, label, or shelf tag for the product is not printed using the color yellow, the symbol may be provided in black and white.  Businesses may download the symbols provided below for use in Proposition 65 warnings.  A business wishing to provide a safe harbor warning must meet all applicable requirements of the Article 6 Clear and Reasonable Warnings regulations.
