Prop 65, sometimes referred to as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, was enacted in 1986 and mandates that products sold in California that have been linked to cancer and reproductive harm must bear warning labels. The rule, which was originally designed to protect California's drinking water, now has an impact on a wide range of businesses and covers more than 850 distinct chemicals that are included in common household items like cosmetics, clothing, jewelry, cars, and furniture.

  These labels may not appear worrisome to residents of other states who are accustomed to seeing them, but they are a familiar sight for Californians. However, we want to reassure you that we create our products to the best standards possible, putting our customers' health and safety first.

  All of our products come with a warning label that reads: "WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals, including wood dust, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm." Since Ornate Home is included under that umbrella and ships nationwide. Visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/furniture for more details.
