Proposition 65

If you manufacture, sell, or distribute any product directly or indirectly in California – through a distributor, online or otherwise – you need to understand and comply with Prop 65. Sheppard Mullin has the expertise to help.

Prevention is Our Goal

Our main goal is to help you avoid government and private bounty hunter enforcement actions in the first place. We know that is not always possible, but we can help you assess and implement a Prop 65 compliance program that will minimize the likelihood of an enforcement action. We also can audit your website to make sure you are following best practices.

Early Resolution

We will work with you to develop creative solutions to foster early resolution of claims, from pre-lawsuit negotiations to accelerated litigation and appeal of key issues.

Expertise

We have experience in all aspects of Prop 65, including compliance, response to notices of intent to sue, defense of lawsuits, trials, and appeals. We routinely guide clients, both large and small, through the process of responding to 60-Day Notice letters, interfacing with the California Attorney General’s Prop 65 unit, and defending enforcement actions in court.
