TheCalifornia Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a
