Prop. 65, also known as Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, is a California law that requires businesses to report to consumers when a products they manufacture includes a greater-than-recommended portion of chemicals found to be toxic. A company must provide a "clear and reasonable" warning to consumers if a product contains the chemical beyond the recommended volume, even if access or risk of exposure is impossible. For promotional products, that warning is generally required as a label on the packaging of an item or on the product itself.
