Do You Need To Label Your Products For BPS?

Warning labels required for bisphenol S, a chemical commonly found in food packaging, baby bottles, clothing, and retail receipts

Last December, the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) added bisphenol S (BPS) to the Proposition 65 list of chemicals known to cause reproductive toxicity. Now, a year after it was added to the list, manufacturers will be required to add warning labels to products containing BPS or demonstrate that exposure to BPS does not require a warning label. The BPS Prop 65 listing is effective Dec. 29, with civil penalties of up to $2,500 per violation for failing to provide warning notices.
