Proposition 65

In 1986, California voters approved Proposition 65, an initiative to address their growing concerns about exposure to toxic chemicals.  That initiative, officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, requires the State of California to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.  The regulation also requires companies who conduct business operations in California to provide warnings when they knowingly exposure residents to listed chemicals above safe harbor levels.

This list currently includes more than 900 chemicals. Proposition 65 does not ban or restrict the sale or use of chemicals on the list, but rather is intended to help Californians make informed decisions about their exposures to these chemicals from the products they use and the places they go.

Please note that the use of Jasper Engines and Transmissions products may expose residents to substances which are known in the state of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and JASPER^® is providing customers the following warning:
