The first settlement agreement of California Proposition 65 has been reached on 9 Feb. 2017. The concentration of Bisphenol A (BPA) present in polycarbonate cooking equipment shall not be equaling to or more than 1,000ppm.

The product involved in the case is wine glasses made of polycarbonate. Pursuant to the specifications of the settlement, the products can be placed for sale, intended or offered for sale on the California market when the concentration of BPA in the products is less than 1,000ppm in accordance with the method set forth in ATS 367 Rev.0 or a legible and reasonable warning label is provided.

Notably, California Proposition 65 contains no limits for hazardous substances in its specifications but safe harbour levels, which require substantial data from businesses. A person or group may file a lawsuit when doubting whether certain products contain dangerous levels of hazardous substances. The final settlement agreement usually covers the limits for specific category of products. More Info on Prop 65
