California Prop 65 warning labels made easy

Hundreds of listed chemicals. Detailed warning-content rules. Aleph gives you a searchable copy of OEHHA’s Prop 65 list, a place to record whether each product needs a warning and why, and a label generator for short-form and long-form warnings — so your decision and your label live in one record.

Prop 65 is a minefield

Hundreds of listed chemicals

California’s Prop 65 list names hundreds of chemicals known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive harm — check OEHHA’s current list. Figuring out which ones apply to your product is the hard part.

Complex exposure math

Many listed chemicals have a No Significant Risk Level (NSRL) or Maximum Allowable Dose Level (MADL); many do not. Working out whether your product’s exposure needs a warning requires specialized knowledge.

Lawsuit risk

Besides public prosecutors, private enforcers can sue in the public interest after a 60-day notice, and civil penalties run up to $2,500 per day for each violation.

Record your decision. Generate the label.

Aleph’s Prop 65 module includes a searchable copy of OEHHA’s Prop 65 list, a per-product warning assessment you complete, and a label generator for short-form and long-form warnings. Whether a warning is required is your determination — Aleph records it.

OEHHA’s chemical list

Search the Prop 65 list by chemical name or CAS number. Each entry shows its listing type (cancer, reproductive, or both). The list is imported from OEHHA’s published file.

Warning assessment

Record whether each product needs a Prop 65 warning, which chemicals, warning type, and exposure routes, and attach your lab test report. Aleph does not decide for you — it points you to OEHHA’s guidance and records your answer.

Warning label generator

Generate short-form or long-form Prop 65 warning text with the warning triangle symbol, as a downloadable PDF. Long-form labels name the chemicals you selected.

Prop 65 compliance, covered

Safe harbor determination, recorded

Record whether you consider your warning safe harbor compliant, from your own review of OEHHA’s rules. Aleph does not make that call; it keeps your answer with the product.

Short-form warning rules changed

Amendments operative January 1, 2025, require new short-form warnings to name at least one listed chemical; products manufactured and labeled before January 1, 2028, may still use the earlier short-form text. Aleph’s short-form label uses the current text and names the chemical you select; still check it against 27 CCR 25603 for your products.

Short-form & long-form labels

Generate either label format — the short form for on-product labels, the long form naming the selected chemicals — both with the triangle symbol and the P65Warnings.ca.gov reference. A food product’s label uses the food warning format instead, which points to P65Warnings.ca.gov/food and has no triangle.

Multi-chemical tracking

Products often contain multiple listed chemicals. Record all of them on the product, and the long-form label names them.

Listed chemicals, not guesses

The chemical picker draws on OEHHA’s own Prop 65 list, imported by hand from OEHHA’s published file, not a hand-written shortlist. You can still add a chemical that is not on it.

Label export

Download warning labels as PDF files. Include them in your packaging artwork or product listing images.

Audit trail

Each saved assessment and each generated label is recorded in your action log, so you can show what you decided and when.
