A Note to Our Customers Regarding California's Proposition 65

In compliance with California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, otherwise known as Proposition 65, all companies selling or distributing consumer products in or into California are required to inform consumers if using their products potentially could lead to exposure to chemicals listed by the State of California as being known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Proposition 65 has resulted in certain consumer products bearing various warning labels over the years. However, recent changes to California regulations implementing Proposition 65 will result in many more consumer products having a warning applied or having a warning statement placed near the products in a retail environment.

These warnings generally consist of language drafted by the State of California for particular classes of products. Companies are likely to use the state-drafted language because the use of other language risks penalties for the product manufacturer or retailer if the substitute language is found insufficient.

For more information about Proposition 65, the listed chemicals, and the warning requirements, please see www.P65Warnings.ca.gov .

Products produced on or after August 30, 2018 that are sold in or into California must include a chemical exposure warning if:

1. The product contains one of the nearly 900 chemicals listed by the State of California.
2. Use of the product may expose the consumer to one or more of the listed chemicals in an amount enough to require a warning.

As a precautionary measure, many companies will apply a warning to their product to inform consumers about the potential exposure.

High Lifter is no different than most companies distributing or selling consumer products in or into California. High Lifter manufactures and offers many products to consumers in California, including ATV and UTV parts and accessories.

California has made the determination that all companies must warn about exposure to engine exhaust from automobiles, motorcycles, and powersports products. High Lifter cannot practicably analyze each of the components or accessories for products it sells and does not manufacture.

As a result, starting in June 2018 and moving forward, consumers will start to see some form of a Proposition 65 warning applied to High Lifter products.

High Lifter always wants consumers to make informed decisions about their product purchases and use, as well as the impact they and the products they use may have on the environment.

High Lifter also wants to reassure and remind its customers that notwithstanding these state-mandated warnings—which the State of California has stated are "not the same as a regulatory decision that a product is 'safe' or 'unsafe'"—High Lifter products are still designed to meet or surpass all applicable state or federal safety and environmental requirements or guidelines.
