The Problem with Prop 65: Unchecked Private Enforcers

While California’s Prop 65 regulation has been a boon for informing consumers, the steep penalties and legal fees can be disastrous for small businesses. The Private Enforcer provision which allows anyone to bring Prop 65 violations to court has led to a burgeoning industry of unscrupulous law firms that use the threat of these lawsuits to pressure businesses that can’t afford to fight back.

The numbers speak for themselves. In 2023, over 4,000 Proposition 65 Notices of Violation were filed—a record high. Yet over the four decades the law has been in place, fewer than 5% of cases ever go to trial. The vast majority are settled out of court, largely due to the significant costs and risks associated with litigation. The Food Regulatory Institute exists to help our clients defend against the improper and predatory enforcement actions that Prop 65’s Private Enforcement provision creates.
