California Proposition 65 Warning (P65) – Important Information
What is Proposition 65?
California’s Proposition 65 (P65), officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, requires businesses to provide warnings about significant exposures to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. These chemicals may be present in certain materials used in the manufacturing of products, including mobility devices such as wheelchairs.
Why is There a Warning on This Product?
Some components of this product may contain trace amounts of chemicals identified by the State of California under Proposition 65. These substances may be present in materials such as:
• Foam cushions, upholstery, plastics, and coatings
• Rubber, adhesives, or metal components
