Notice of Intent to List Methyleugenol as causing cancer via the authoritative bodies mechanism

OEHHA is removing dienestrol [CAS No. 84-17-3] from the list of chemicals known to the state to cause cancer, for purposes of Proposition 651.  The delisting of dienestrol is effective JANUARY 4, 2013. 

OEHHA is removing chloramphenicol from the list of chemicals known to the state to cause cancer, for purposes of Proposition 65.  The delisting of chloramphenicol is effective January 4, 2013. 

Per court ruling, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) may not list a chemical as causing cancer under Proposition 65 pursuant to the Labor Code mechanism set out in Health and Safety Code section 25249.8(a), referencing Labor Code section 6382(d), solely on the basis of its identification by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as being possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), where that determination is based on less than sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and animals. The language in the court’s ruling applies to ten chemicals.
