Question:
What is the “PROP 65" label and why is on my JBL product ?
Answer:
Proposition 65 (formally titled The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986) is a California law passed by direct voter initiative in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, such as consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.
Due to proposition 65 law in California a warning label has been placed on all of our products but this label is only mandatory in California.

From 12th September 2020 the label will no longer be placed on the products by the manufacturers, it will be only applied in US warehouse for that market.
