The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), which is the agency tasked with implementing Proposition 65, has listed one very specific form of titanium dioxide on Proposition 65's list of chemicals. Only airborne and unbound particles of respirable size titanium dioxide (Listed Titanium Dioxide) is on Proposition 65's list. OEHHA listed that specific form of titanium dioxide as cancer-causing in humans, thus mandating a cancer warning on products containing it.Cosmetics Brands Rejoice (For Now): Required Calif. Cancer Warning for Titanium Dioxide Likely Misleading
It remains to be seen whether California will appeal this ruling. It also remains to be seen what will happen with already-filed Proposition 65 lawsuits based on Listed Titanium Dioxide, though at the very least a stay of those suits is the most logical outcome until the final resolution of the federal lawsuit.
