If you sell physical products into California, you've probably heard of Proposition 65 — and if you haven't yet, there's a decent chance you will, usually in the form of an unexpected email. California's Prop 65 lets private individuals and law firms file public notices against sellers over undisclosed listed chemicals, and the volume of these filings has stayed high: hundreds of new notices are logged with the California Attorney General's office every single month. For small and mid-sized sellers — especially those managing dozens or hundreds of SKUs across marketplaces — knowing whether your brand, your category, or a chemical common in your supply chain has come up in a filing isn't something you can realistically track by hand.

So we built two free tools to make that information easier to see. Both are live today, no account required.

1. Prop 65 Notice Search

This is a straightforward, public search over California's 60-day notice database — the same records the Attorney General's office publishes, mirrored and kept current on our end so you don't have to dig through the state's own search interface.

Search by:

  • Brand or company name — see if a name matching yours has appeared in a recent filing
  • Product category — get a feel for what's being targeted in your space (stair treads, silicone bakeware, vinyl flooring, whatever your category is)
  • Chemical name — DEHP, lead, cadmium, and dozens of other listed substances

Every result links back to the original filing, because the point of this tool is to get you to the primary source faster — not to interpret it for you. We'll say this plainly, because it matters: a name match in our search results is an automated text match, not a confirmed identification, and it isn't a finding about compliance or liability. Always verify against the linked filing.

2. Chemical × Category Heatmap

The second tool zooms out. Instead of searching for something specific, it shows filing activity across chemicals and product categories over time — which chemicals are showing up most often, and which categories of goods they're most associated with.

This is the tool for the question sellers ask us most: "Is my kind of product even on anyone's radar?" Rather than guessing, you can see actual filing patterns — updated as new notices come in — and get a sense of where enforcement attention has been concentrated recently.

Why We're Giving This Away

Compliance monitoring shouldn't be something only large sellers with in-house legal teams can access. The underlying notice data is public information; we don't think finding it should require knowing where to look or how to parse a government search portal. These two tools are free, and we intend to keep them that way.

And if you want more than a manual search, that's live too: on the same page you can set up a free email watchlist. Add the brand names, company names, or Amazon shop names you want tracked, verify your email, and we'll notify you when a new filing appears to reference them — built directly on the same underlying data these free tools use. Watchlist matches are automated text matches too, so the same rule applies: verify against the original filing.

One Important Note

Neither of these tools — nor anything else we publish on this data — is legal advice, a compliance determination, or a substitute for a licensed attorney. They're built to help you find and monitor public records faster. What a specific filing means for your business, and what (if anything) you should do about it, is a question for your own legal counsel.
