Comment-20757-Leo LIeber

The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) is proposing changes to its messaging to consumers regarding the cancer risk associated with products made with the weed killing chemical glyphosate.

OEHHA’s “proposed modifications” include changing one of it statement from this: “Other authorities, including USEPA, have determined that glyphosate is unlikely to cause cancer, or that the evidence is inconclusive” to this: “US EPA has determined that glyphosate is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans; other authorities have made similar determinations.” OEHHA is also changing the phrase “personal cancer risk” to “potential risk.”

To help keep Californians safe from glyphosate-containing products, submit comment stating that that glyphosate-containing products should have a proper Prop 65 label on them and the label should say that the product is known to cause cancer.
