August 30, 2018--California Proposition 65 Statement

Promopet, (a WOV-IN Brands company), strives to provide our customers with product that meets all of their expectations – including delivering product that meets state and federal regulatory requirements.

Our product development and review process includes conducting a risk assessment for each product.  The risk assessment process looks at the product, its intended/likely uses, and its components to identify the most likely risks.  Then we conduct validation testing where required or deemed appropriate by an independent, certified, third party laboratory.  Not all products, however, are subject to third party testing requirements

California’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 – also known as Prop 65 is a labeling law.  While the law does not require a manufacturer to test a product for compliance with all of the over 800 listed substances acknowledged by the state to cause cancer and/or reproductive harm, the law does require entities doing business in the state of California to notify users of their products of the potential exposure to these substances through the use of that product.  This requires a label on those products.  The labeling standards have changed effective August 30, 2018 to enhance the information present on the label. 

We use component testing to establish compliance of materials used in WOVIN Brands’ products with Prop 65 limits.  This means that we test the components that go into the item, but not always the entire finished item.  During our risk assessment, we evaluate for any components of high concern in the product.  Those components are tested to see if they fall within the safe harbor levels.  Components of concern that may be greater than the safe harbor levels of a given substance will be labeled when shipping to California or as requested in writing on the purchase order.
