At ELLE Travel, we prioritize product safety and include the Proposition 65 warning as mandated by California law. Proposition 65 encompasses over 900 chemicals that may be present in consumer products or associated with their use. These stringent regulations ensure consumers are informed about potential exposures to substances known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
What is Proposition 65 (Prop 65)?
Proposition 65, officially known as "The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986," mandates "clear and reasonable warnings" about exposures to specific chemicals identified by California as harmful. These chemicals can be found in consumer products, homes, workplaces, or the environment. The law allows Californians to make informed decisions about their exposure to these chemicals.
What are the New Prop 65 Requirements?
New regulations include changes to listed chemicals and specific requirements for warnings on products containing these chemicals. Manufacturers must test for the approximately 900 chemicals or include the appropriate warning on packaging and websites. All products may now require a Proposition 65 warning, even if previously exempt.

Types of Chemicals on the Proposition 65 List
The Proposition 65 list includes chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. This list, updated annually, contains around 900 chemicals, both naturally occurring and synthetic, found in pesticides, household products, food, drugs, dyes, solvents, and more. These chemicals may also result from industrial processes.
Chemicals in ELLE Travel Products
ELLE Travel products are crafted from safe, durable materials. However, they may contain trace amounts of any of the 900 chemicals listed under California Proposition 65 due to the extensive use of chemicals in manufacturing processes.
