Safe Harbor Warning Language (4/20/17)

April 20, 2017

The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) is administering new requirements for safe harbor warnings under Proposition 65. Under the new requirements, warnings may need to be translated into the appropriate language under the following conditions:

  • Consumer information for a consumer product is provided in a foreign language
  • Signs in a facility are presented in a foreign language

OEHHA has provided some translations on its website to be used as guidelines. These translations represent the Agency’s best efforts in replicating the warning content, however, some ambiguities may still exist. To ensure accuracy and thoroughness, businesses are recommended to seek translation and legal consultation.

TSG has more than 25 years of experience ensuring compliance and defense for chemically-related products subject to Proposition 65. Our scientific and regulatory experts are extremely knowledgeable on the intricacies governing safe harbor warnings.
