Combine that with the threat of lawsuits and reputational costs, as well as companies just wanting to do the right thing for health, and \u201cit becomes a great motivator for change,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">California maintains a list of about 900 chemicals known to cause cancer and other health effects. Under the 1986 right-to-know law, also known as <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/oehha.ca.gov\/proposition-65\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Prop 65<\/a>, products that could expose people to harmful amounts of those chemicals must carry warning labels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Critics had long mocked the measure, saying the warnings were so ubiquitous \u2014 affixed to cookware, faux leather jackets, even baked goods \u2014 that they had become largely meaningless in the eyes of shoppers. But the latest study found that companies, more than consumers, may be most influenced by the warnings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">To assess the law\u2019s effect, researchers carried out interviews at 32 global manufacturers and retailers that sell clothing, personal-care, cleaning, and a range of home products. Almost 80 percent of interviewees said Prop 65 had prompted them to reformulate their products.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Companies can avoid the warning labels if they reduce the level of any Prop 65 chemicals below a \u201csafe harbor\u201d threshold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A similar share of companies said they looked to Prop 65 to determine which chemicals to avoid. And 63 percent said the law had prompted them to also reformulate products they sold outside California.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The American Chemistry Council, which represents chemical manufacturers, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the study.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">No other state has a law quite like Prop. 65, requiring warnings on such a wide range of products about cancer or reproductive harm. New York enacted a more limited law in 2020 that requires manufacturers to disclose certain chemicals in children\u2019s products and that bans the use of certain chemicals by 2023. Other states have laws geared toward disclosure of ingredients on labels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">California, meanwhile, is pushing ahead. A 2018 change to Prop 65 has meant products are starting to carry even more specific labels. Some food and beverage cans, for example, may carry labels that warn that they \u201chave linings containing bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical known to the State of California to cause harm to the female reproductive system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The latest research is part of a larger effort to analyze Prop 65\u2019s effect on people\u2019s exposure to toxic chemicals. In <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/silentspring-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com\/2s_w0slZtiuwg0eAC6GT0sHfSwf-FedgxBw49eLC3HPNQopDblAHsjObx7MPe6juhCg3LRzHafIzOtagl5xMuPL7NXpfd2OZS7oCGfHRzOugfm6dWQJ87TWSo6HYw6ub_NUBsqfjIzNYORx4Sq5JpJj1o0fkrQhMEiNdvBCKQcsIkB8Z1I0l7-k7rByCBg6o24CrTfzHwBZVkapc5yiGR_u0dPMEOKIn7fyHjIrl3se4h2vrCgYy0XhL6hG86QsF_8RC96d7QeOm2\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a study published last year<\/a>, researchers at the Silent Spring Institute and UC Berkeley found that in the years after certain chemicals were listed under the law, levels of those chemicals in people\u2019s bodies decreased both in California and nationwide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That research came with a caveat, however. In some examples where levels of a listed chemical decreased, a close substitute to that chemical, potentially with similar harmful effects, increased. Prop 65 has no mechanism to check the safety of alternative chemicals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It suggested that stronger policies were needed at both the federal and state levels to study and regulate the thousands of chemicals on the market, Dr. Schwarzman said. \u201cThis is so much bigger than the individual consumer and what we choose off-the-shelf,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
