I'm opposed to the changes proposed by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) to its messaging to consumers regarding the cancer risk associated with products made with the weed killing chemical glyphosate. I disagree with changing the statements “Other authorities, including USEPA, have determined that glyphosate is unlikely to cause cancer, or that the evidence is inconclusive” to: “US EPA has determined that glyphosate is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans; other authorities have made similar determinations.” I also oppose OEHHA proposaed change of the phrase “personal cancer risk” to “potential risk.” Any 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. Anything less is providing inaccurate, incomplete and potentially dangerous information to consumers.
