8月 30 , 2018-ミッションヴィエホ。 Moms Across Americaは、カリフォルニア環境保護局（CA EPA）の環境健康ハザード評価局（OEHHA）による決定を称賛します。今日は、待望の変更が企業、製造業者、および有害な化学物質に公衆をさらすサプライチェーンの責任者に影響を与える日です。この日以降、カリフォルニアで癌または生殖障害を引き起こすことが知られている化学物質に公衆をさらす人は、次のように警告を発するか、違反ごとに1日あたり$ 2,500の罰金に直面しなければなりません。

Mom Across AmericaのZen Honeycuttは次のように述べています。公衆には知る権利がありますが、モンサントはCA EPAを停止するよう訴えたため、プロップ65リストにあり、食品や学校や公園の周りに散布されているグリホサートは含まれないことにoutしますラベル付け。グリホサート除草剤は、原告のドウェイン・リー・ジョンソンが非ホジキンリンパ腫の原因でモンサントから 289.2百万ドルを授与された最近の訴訟の対象でした。彼は学校の農薬散布機として防護服を着用している間に暴露されました

According to 30 years of EPA policy, normally glyphosate, which was placed on the Prop 65 list in 2017, would be included in this regulation. All products, such as Roundup sold in Home Depot,  would need to carry this warning today. All pesticide applicators would need to be informed that they were using products which cause cancer, and all farmers would see warning labels on their bulk purchases of glyphosate herbicides which they spray on our food crops.  However, Monsanto sued the CA EPA and the judge granted them a temporary injunction which stopped the labeling of glyphosate herbicides. Their reasoning was that Monsanto had the right to “free speech” meaning they and the other clients in the lawsuit, such as the Wheat Growers Association, had the right to not speak about whether their products or food ingredients contained a probable carcinogen. Nevermind that they also have the free will to make or use a chemical which exposes the public unknowingly to a carcinogen.

The details of the new regulations are specified in an article from the CalChamber News Alert:

Consumer product warnings must begin with “This product can expose you to . . .” This is a departure from the current warning regulations, which require safe harbor warnings to begin with “This product contains . . .”

• Chemical Specification: If a warning is not provided on the product itself, such as on a shelf display or a store sign, a business must name at least one chemical for which the warning is being provided and specify whether that chemical is known to cause birth defects or reproductive harm, cancer, or both. If warning for one chemical that is a carcinogen and a separate chemical that is a reproductive toxicant, the warning must specify both chemicals. If warning for one chemical that is both a carcinogen and a reproductive toxicant, such as lead, the warning need only specify that chemical. This is a significant change. With the exception of warnings for alcohol, the prior safe harbor warnings do not require warnings to specify chemicals.
  
  
• Pictogram: All safe harbor warnings except for food and dietary supplement exposures must contain a pictogram on the left side of the warning of an exclamation point encompassed by an equilateral triangle. Although the triangle must be printed in yellow, it may be printed in black-and-white only if the sign, label, or shelf tag for the product is not printed using the color yellow.
  
  
• URL: All safe harbor warnings must end with “For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.”

Translation Requirements: Safe harbor warnings must be provided in English, and if a product sign, label, or shelf tag used to provide a warning also contains consumer information in a language other than English, the Proposition 65 warning also must be provided in that language.
