CALIFORNIA PROP 65
California Proposition 65 Notification For Residents of California: California's Proposition 65 is a California-only law that requires California consumers to be notified about products that may contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
ProParts Direct cares about our customers' safety and has chosen to provide a blanket warning based on our knowledge regarding the presence of one or more listed chemicals without attempting to evaluate the level of exposure. Products listed on any websites operated by ProParts Direct may be below the Proposition 65 exposure levels of concern or could even be zero. However, due to the size and wide range of our product line, ProParts Direct has decided to place the Proposition 65 warning notification on all of our products as a precaution. We hope that this information helps you with your purchasing decisions. The standard Proposition 65 notice is as follows:
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
