California Proposition 65
In 1986, California voters approved the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, also known as Proposition 65. This law requires businesses to provide warnings to customers about potential exposure to chemicals that may cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Why is this warning on products sold by My Fitness Outlet LLC?
Because many electronic and other consumer products can contain one or more of the chemicals listed under Proposition 65, they may be required to display this warning — even if the actual level of exposure is within “no significant risk” for consumers. We include the warning on our product packaging to keep you informed about any potential exposure.
How can I trust that these products are safe?
For many items sold by My Fitness Outlet LLC, any exposure to listed substances may still be well within “no significant risk.” Nevertheless, we choose to display the Proposition 65 warning to ensure you have clear and transparent information when making a purchase decision. As the California government states, “The fact that a product bears a Proposition 65 warning does not mean by itself that the product is unsafe,” and that Proposition 65 is more accurately viewed as a “right to know” law rather than a pure product safety law.
