Q.) What is Proposition 65? 

Proposition 65 is the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 Health and Safety Code Section 25249.6 et al. Any company that , sells or manufactures consumer products in California, is subject to Proposition 65. Because Report Footwear sells products in California, Report Footwear is subject to Proposition 65.

Proposition 65 requires warning labels on any consumer product that may contain any of 800-plus chemicals that the State of California considers a carcinogen or a reproductive toxicant. For many chemicals there is no definable amount of how much of these chemicals must be present to be considered harmful. In some instances, the State of California has set threshold levels of certain chemicals to be safe but in general the burden is on a manufacturer or seller to prove that exposure of those chemicals in their product pose no harm to the consumer.

Why does Rocky Brands put warning labels on products sold outside of California? 

Through Rocky Brands sales online, and other dealers within California, our products are available to be shipped and/or purchased in California. If our products are brought into California without the proper warning lable, Rocky Brands may still be in violation.

How come I don’t see this warning on everything I buy? 

This is a California State Law and not a Federal Law. Companies that do not sell consumer products in California do not need to put this warning on their products.

Are Rocky Brands Products Safe? 

Our products are manufactured to meet federal and state laws for safety and restricted substances.
