Many products will have to add these warnings, including commonplace daily use items made from plastic, PVC, brass, copper, galvanized steel, stainless steel or painted white.  In the near future, nearly every business in California, including grocery stores, dentist’s and doctor’s offices and hardware stores, will need to post the warning at the entrance to their stores.  Your business can be liable to post the warning even if you aren’t located in California.  For example, if you ship to California, advertise there, or if your website is visible there, it’s a good idea to include the warning on your product pages.

We are trying to be proactive, and act out of an abundance of caution, by providing this information.  Just because a product must carry such a warning does not mean the product is unsafe.  In some cases, the chemical in reference is present only at trace levels.  In others, it is nearly impossible to leach out.
