Comment Period - Proposed Listing of Topiramate

Request for comments:  OEHHA is requesting comments as to whether this chemical meets the criteria set forth in the Proposition 65 regulations for listings via the formally required to be labeled or identified mechanism (Section 25902).  Because this is a ministerial listing, comments should be limited to whether FDA requires that topiramate be labeled to communicate a risk of reproductive or developmental harm.  OEHHA cannot consider scientific arguments concerning the weight or quality of the evidence considered by FDA when it established the labeling requirement and will not respond to such comments if they are submitted.  

In order to be considered, OEHHA must receive comments by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, November 2, 2015.  We encourage you to submit comments in electronic form, rather than in paper form.  Comments transmitted by e-mail should be addressed to P65Public.Comments@oehha.ca.gov.  Please include “topiramate” in the subject line.  Comments submitted in paper form may be mailed, faxed, or delivered in person to the address below.
