3.1 Pulmuone agrees, promises, and represents that after the Effective Date Pulmuone shall either not sell in California, offer for sale in California, or ship for sale in California any (i) Seaweed To Go Packs unless the level of the Lead does not exceed 75 parts per billion (“ppb”), or (ii) any Dried Seaweed, Sliced Dried Seaweed and Seaweed To Go unless the level of Lead does not exceed 75 ppb, and the level of Cadmium does not exceed 85 ppb, or (iii) any Dried Seaweed unless the level of Lead does not exceed 75 ppb, level of Cadmium does not exceed 85 ppb and level of Arsenic does not exceed 15 ppb, or provide a Proposition 65 compliant warning for such products sold in California if they exceed these levels as set forth in the following paragraphs. 3.2 For any Covered Products that exceed the levels of the Listed Chemicals set forth above that are manufactured for distribution and/or sale into California after the Effective Date, Pulmuone must provide a Proposition 65 compliant warning for the Covered Products as set forth in Proposition 65 and its implementing regulations and/or as set forth below. The warning shall be consistent with Title 27 California Code of Regulations, § 25607.2. The warning shall be provided for cancer and birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Any warning provided pursuant to this section shall be affixed to the packaging of, or directly on, the Covered Products, and be prominently placed with such conspicuousness as compared with other words, statements, designs, or devices as to render it reasonably likely to be read and understood by an ordinary individual under customary conditions before purchase or use. The warning must be set off from other surrounding information and enclosed in a box. Where the packaging of the Covered Product includes “consumer information” as defined by California Code of Regulations title 27 §25600.1(c) in a language other than English, the warning must also be provided in that language in addition to English. Should Pulmuone sells or distributes any Covered Products through the internet, the warning will be posted in the manner provided for with respect to internet sales, as provided for in 27 CCR sections 25601 and 25602, as they may be subsequently amended, for sales to consumers in California. The Parties agree that the following warning language are examples of what shall constitute compliance with Proposition 65 with respect to alleged Listed Chemicals in the Covered Products manufactured and placed into the steam of commerce by Pulmuone after the Effective Date, provided, however, that a label which is otherwise in compliance with Proposition 65, and which may be different than one of the examples listed below, shall also be deemed compliant: For Lead, Cadmium or Arsenic, as Applicable: [California Prop. 65] WARNING: Consuming this product can expose you to chemicals including, Lead which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
