Wood Dust and California Proposition 65

On December 18,2009, wood dust was added to the list under California Prooosition 65. the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, as a substance known to the State of California to cause cancer. Prooosition 65 is known as a "right to know law" and requires any person in the course of doing business to not knowingly and intentionally expose an individual to wood dust without first providing a clear and reasonable warning. Prop 65 does not require product labeling.

Who Must Comply?

. California retail outlets

. In-state wood products manufacturers and distributors

. Out-of-state manufacturers and distributors of lumber and other wood oroducts with California customers

Industry Response

Western Wood Products Association and the Lumber Association of California & Nevada have worked with the California Attorney General's Office to develop warning materials and consumer signage, which comply with Prop 65 requirements. Warning materials musf be sent annually and customer conJirmation records maintained.

As an industry service, WWPA has developed a central registration system to handle notification and customer confirmations for subscribing comoanies. The service is available to all manufacturers and distributors and allows customers to receive one notification representing multiple companies.

For more information on Prop 65 requirements, visit WWPA's booth at the NAWLA Traders Market or contact us at info@wwpa.org.
