California Proposition 65 Notice
At Yellow Dog, we are committed to providing quality products while maintaining transparency with our customers regarding product information, safety notices, and regulatory requirements. As part of that commitment, we actively monitor and review developments related to California Proposition 65, formally known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.
Proposition 65 requires businesses to provide warnings to California consumers about products that may expose individuals to chemicals identified by the State of California as causing cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. The Proposition 65 chemical list is extensive and continues to evolve, with new substances and revised guidance added periodically by the state.
Yellow Dog works with a wide variety of manufacturers and vendors across the fly fishing, outdoor, apparel, travel, and sporting goods industries. Because of the broad range of products we offer, certain items sold on our website or in our retail store may carry Proposition 65 warnings. In many cases, these warnings are provided directly by manufacturers out of an abundance of caution or due to the presence of trace amounts of regulated substances that may exist in components, materials, finishes, packaging, or manufacturing environments.
Our team is continuously reviewing manufacturer communications, product packaging, and vendor compliance updates to help ensure that applicable Proposition 65 warnings are displayed where appropriate. We are also actively monitoring ongoing developments related to Proposition 65 requirements and enforcement so that we can make updates to our website and product information as necessary.
Yellow Dog values transparency and customer trust. If you have any questions regarding a specific product, manufacturer notice, or Proposition 65 warning, we encourage you to contact our team directly. We are happy to provide any information available to us from the manufacturer or supplier and assist in answering questions regarding product materials, intended use, or warning language.
