Latest News California Establishes Safe Harbor Limit for BpA By Staff Wednesday, June 22, 2016 12:24 AM ALEXANDRIA, Va.—California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) published its Maximum Allowable Dose Level (MADL) for BpA on June 17, enabling optical manufacturers, retailers and prescription labs located in California or whose products are sold there to find out if their products are within the legal limits set by the state.The safe harbor exempts products from the Proposition 65 warning requirements where exposure to BpA from those products is less than 3 micrograms per day, according to an announcement by The Vision Council, which has been monitoring the situation. The safe harbor is limited to 3 micrograms per day based on dermal exposure, and does not cover other potential means of exposure such as ingestion or inhalation, The Vision Council said. Companies that want to determine whether their products are in the safe harbor can contact The Vision Council for names of labs offering dermal exposure testing.For more information about Proposition 65, click here.
