DENVER - July 23, 2018 - ACT Lab, the independent third-party accredited laboratory that conducts safety and compliance testing for the bike and outdoor industries, invites attendees of the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market trade show in Denver to visit its booth, 54152-UL, to receive a free “5 on 65” 5-minute consultation on California Proposition 65’s new warning labeling requirements taking effect Aug. 30 of this year.
“With the looming deadline for manufacturers and retailers to comply with new warning label requirements there’s been a lot of interest, inquiry, and confusion related to everyone’s responsibilities,” explained Michael Baker, the global sales and marketing manager for ACT Lab. “We welcome anyone to visit our booth and get a five-minute consultation that’s tailored to their needs.”
California’s Prop 65 , which requires companies to warn consumers about products containing chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects, became law in 1986. Regardless of whether a product’s suppliers or manufacturers are located in California, if the product is sold to California consumers via brick-and-mortar or online channels, its manufacturers are required to comply with the new labeling requirements. Fines for noncompliance are $2,500 per violation per day, starting Sept. 1, 2018.
