Prop 65 Federally Preempted

By George C. Salmas

Sep 02, 2026

 

Our client, a Scottish company that imports canned meat into the U.S., received a Prop 65 notice. An obscure legal point is that federal law preempts Prop 65 under certain circumstances. The Scottish company’s products is one of those situations. We informed plaintiff they had no case. After making some threats, plaintiff abandoned the matter without the payment of any settlement money. A Prop 65 case was defeated with a one-page letter.
