California Prop 65 Attorney for Compliance & Defense

If your business sells products in California, you’re subject to Proposition 65. This sweeping toxic exposure warning law has triggered thousands of lawsuits—often filed by private enforcers seeking fast payouts. As a Prop 65 attorney serving California and out-of-state companies, we help businesses navigate compliance and defend against claims. We’ve handled multiple Prop 65 lawsuits and know how to assess risk, respond strategically, and resolve matters without unnecessary noise.
What Prop 65 Means for Your Business
Proposition 65—officially the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act—requires companies to warn consumers about exposures to certain chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm. With over 900 listed substances and vague thresholds, compliance can be tricky. Labels, websites, and packaging are all potential targets. In 2018 alone, nearly 1,000 settlements were reached totaling over $35 million. Many of these were driven by private lawyers exploiting vague technicalities. You need someone who knows how to cut through the confusion.
Helping You Comply Before It Becomes a Problem
We advise companies on chemical content disclosures, proper warning labels, and overall Prop 65 compliance strategy. Whether you’re launching a new product, updating packaging, or entering the California market for the first time, our firm can help assess your risk exposure. We’ll identify which chemicals may trigger labeling obligations and whether your product falls under a “safe harbor” level. Proactive legal guidance is often the best defense.
Defense That’s Built on Experience, Not Fear
If you’ve received a 60-day notice of violation or been sued under Prop 65, we can step in immediately. We’ve defended six Prop 65 cases involving alleged chemical exposures in consumer goods and industrial products. Our approach is strategic and unsentimental. We know how to engage with both the California Attorney General’s office and private enforcers. Many claims are based on shaky science or inflated damages, and we’re prepared to push back. You won’t be pressured into settling unless it’s the right move.
