Subject: California Proposition 65 and
Western Cable Corporation
Dear Valued Customer,
In November 1986, California approved a referendum initiative (“Proposition
65 or Prop 65”) that no one shall introduce into the drinking water
of the State of California any substance that may cause reproductive
or carcinogenic toxicity. The State Legislature followed with
the enactment of the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of
1986 (Sections 25249.5-25249.13 of the California Health and Safety Code). The
law has since expanded requiring consumer products sold in the state
of California to have warning labels cautioning consumers about the dangers
from exposures to toxic chemicals.
Our products may contain chemical constituents of PVC, PP, PU, PE, TFE,
PTFE, Kynar, Kapton, and more, that are listed under Prop 65. However,
because our products are infrequently handled and are generally not readily
accessible within the final product(s) sold to consumers, our products
are likely exempt from Prop 65 labeling requirements. Based on a Consent
Judgment Settlement Agreement (San Francisco Superior Court Cases 312962
and 320342), it was agreed that “Cords and Covered Products”,
which because of their size, weight or function, are infrequently handled
therefore are exempt. Examples of infrequently handled cords in the Consent
Judgment are: building wire, printer cables, riser/plenum cable, speaker
wire, telecom data cable, telecom power cable, telephone power and data
cords, thermostat cable, utility cable, signal cable, power control/instrumentation
cable, utility wire and cable. Also exempt are cords and power
supplies that are internal components of products that are not normally
accessible to consumer during ordinary use. Western Cable Corporation
believes if the product supplied to our customers meets the exempt criteria
then our product is deemed exempt from the above mentioned regulation.
The information provided in the Product Disclosure, and the identification
of materials listed as Reportable under Prop 65, is correct to the best
of Western Cable’s knowledge, information and belief. The
information provided is designed only as a general guide for regulatory
information pertaining to Prop 65. It is not to be considered a
warranty or quality specification. Customers are responsible for
determining the applicability of specific laws and regulations based
on the individual for deter mining the applicability of specific laws
and regulations based on the individual usage of our products.
Sincerely,
Jim Morrison
CEO Western Cable Corporation
