California Proposition 65 Notice

California Proposition 65 Notice

Effective Date: January 1, 2026
Last Updated: August 21, 2026

At GSC Tuning, we are committed to providing premium automotive performance products while maintaining compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws. This California Proposition 65 Notice is provided to inform customers about certain warnings that may accompany products sold through our website.

 


 

1. Overview

California’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, commonly referred to as Proposition 65, requires businesses to provide warnings before knowingly exposing individuals in the State of California to chemicals identified by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (“OEHHA”) as causing cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

The list of regulated chemicals is maintained and updated by OEHHA and currently includes hundreds of naturally occurring and synthetic substances.

Additional information regarding Proposition 65 may be found at:

https://www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

 


 

2. Proposition 65 Warning

Certain products distributed by GSC Tuning may require the following warning:

⚠ WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals, including chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

This warning is provided in accordance with California law.

 


 

3. Why This Warning Is Provided

Proposition 65 establishes notification requirements that differ significantly from federal product safety regulations.

A Proposition 65 warning does not mean that a product is unsafe, defective, or prohibited from sale.

Rather, the law requires businesses to provide warnings whenever exposure to certain listed chemicals may exceed California’s conservative regulatory thresholds.

Many automotive replacement parts, performance products, and aftermarket components sold throughout the United States display Proposition 65 warnings regardless of whether actual exposure presents a significant health risk under normal conditions of use.

Accordingly, the presence of a Proposition 65 warning should not be interpreted as an indication that a product violates any federal or state safety standard.
