Prop 65: Rubber-Cal is fully committed to providing safe and environmentally friendly products to our customers. We pride ourselves in being an eco-friendly firm with a large variety of products made from recycled and reclaimed rubber materials. We offer rubber flooring, rubber mats, rubber doormats, and even industrial rubber sheet made from recycled rubber. Recycled rubber and reclaimed rubber are for the most part by-products of used tire crumb. And since the origin of the exact tire and/or rubber material recycled and used for the sake of the production of a specific rubber parts are unknown, and since it is not feasible to test every tire that is recycled, that Rubber-Cal has chosen to provide a warning based on the possibility that one or more of the chemicals listed by Prop 65 may be an ingredient in tires.

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, better known as Proposition 65, lists over 750 chemicals that are known to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Proposition 65 requires manufactures to provide a “clear and reasonable” warning before knowingly and intentionally exposing anyone to a listed chemical. A “clear and reasonable” warning indicates:

  1. That the manufacturer has evaluated the exposure and has concluded that the product contains a listed chemical that exceeds the “no significant risk level” (as defined in Proposition 65); or
  2. The manufacturer has chosen to provide a warning simply based on the knowledge about the presence of a listed chemical without attempting to evaluate the exposure.

Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 was a California ballot initiative (voted on by the public) and requires the governor to publish an annual list of chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm. The latest list includes hundreds of chemicals from A-alpha-C to zileuton.
