New Hampshire prop. 65
This petition calls for the immediate adoption of legislature in the state of New Hampshire to adopt identical provisions as set forth by the state of California's Proposition 65, "Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 California Proposition 65 was passed to address consumer exposure to toxins through drinking water, the environment, occupations, and consumer products. It requires the State of California to maintain a list of carcinogenic and toxic chemicals. Where a business uses a listed chemical, it must provide a “clear and reasonable warning” to consumers that the chemical is present. The list of chemicals is available on the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment’s website. The only way that a retailer may avoid providing a warning to consumers where a listed chemical is present in its goods, is if the level of the chemical is below the “safe harbor” level—levels considered “no significant risk” for carcinogens and “maximum allowable dose levels” for toxins and teratogens. This petition calls for legislature to bring identical requirements as the state of California to the state of New Hampshire.
