Specialty Steel and California Proposition 65 - SSINA (2024)

Stainless and other specialty steels do not present a risk to human health from exposure to chemicals listed under California’s “Proposition 65.” While the determination of whether to provide a Prop 65 warning is product-specific and the responsibility of each individual company, the available data show that there is minimal potential for release of (and exposure to) listed metals from specialty steel under normal conditions of consumer use in amounts that would require a Prop 65 warning. In addition, there is important precedent from previous Prop 65 actions establishing that stainless and specialty steels do not require a warning.
