California Lists BPS On Prop 65

The Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committeevoted unanimously to list bisphenol S as a reproductive toxicant under Prop 65

On Dec. 29, the California Office of Environmental Health and Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) formally added bisphenol S (BPS) as a reproductive toxicant under the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, commonly known as Prop 65. The decision to list BPS under Prop 65 will affect manufacturers across a variety of industries, as BPS can be found in an array of consumer products, including sportswear, raingear, infant clothing, blankets, curtains, food can coatings, nonstick pans, and thermally printed receipts produced at gas pumps and cash registers.
