Proposition 65 Warning for California Customers
Proposition 65 Warning for California Customers
Proposition 65 is a California law that requires businesses to include a warning on any products that contain quantifiable amounts of over 800 possible chemicals, many of which are naturally occurring.
Some botanicals—even those grown and processed organically—contain low levels of lead that occur naturally in the soil. All of the botanical products offered by our distributors fall well below the FDA's current tolerable intake levels and are many times less than the amount shown to cause harm in adults.
Why do I see a Prop 65 warning on my herbal products?
We want to assure you that the products we sell are safe. As a small reseller, Dragon Herbarium carefully selects and partners with large, trusted distributors who handle all necessary laboratory testing and safety compliance. These distributors thoroughly test their items to ensure they meet or exceed rigorous federal and industry standards.
Because of the unique nature of this state-specific law, we are required to display a Prop 65 warning on products shipped to California. This is the exact same warning found throughout California hotels, gas stations, airports, golf courses, public parks, and other public buildings.
Because of the sweeping scope of this law, we have opted to provide this warning for items shipped to California. Please be assured that our suppliers utilize up-to-date testing technologies and independent third-party laboratories to ensure quality, meaning the products we source for you remain safely within federally mandated safety guidelines.
