It’s a new era for the kit-car industry! Last year, a law was enacted to permit car manufacturers to produce turn-key replica vehicles for customers nationwide. When fully implemented, this new law will allow U.S. companies to make and sell classic-themed vehicles that were virtually impossible to build under the previous one-size-fits-all regulatory framework. Replica cars resemble production vehicles manufactured at least 25 years ago. Learn how low-volume production car companies and those that supply equipment and components can take advantage of this unique opportunity. The seminar, “How Manufacturers, Suppliers and Consumers Can Take Advantage of the New Replica Car Law” will provide an opportunity for experts to explain the law and for manufacturers and suppliers to ask questions about how they can take advantage of this new marketplace.

When: Thursday, November 3, 2016, 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
Where: Las Vegas Convention Center, Upper North Hall, N254

Panel:

• Stuart Gosswein, SEMA
• Russ Deane, SEMA General Counsel
• Jim McFarland, SEMA Technical Consultant
• David Smith, Factory Five Racing
• Lance Stander, Superformance 
• Lance Tunick, Vehicle Services Consulting Inc.

The California Office of Environmental Health and Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) has finalized new rules governing the acceptable content of warning labels used on consumer products under Proposition 65 (“Prop. 65”). Prop. 65 was enacted in 1986 to enable Californians to be aware of chemicals in consumer products known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. To achieve this goal, Prop. 65 allows consumers to sue companies that sell products in California that include certain chemicals without carrying an acceptable warning. If a business labels its products with a warning that satisfies the regulations, the business is eligible for a safe harbor from such lawsuits. 

The new regulations become effective August 30, 2018, allowing businesses a two-year period to update their warnings to meet the new requirements. Businesses can transition to the new warnings anytime during the two-year transition time. Products manufactured prior to August 30, 2018, can comply with the old regulations, even if sold after that date, but all products manufactured after August 30, 2018, must carry the new warning language.

Under the new regulations, warnings:

• Must be given at or before the point of purchase (required to be shown on website or catalog if sold via those channels).
• Must contain a graphic depiction of a yellow triangle containing an exclamation point (if the warning is printed on packaging that does not use the color yellow, the graphic can be in black and white).
• Must include the website address “www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.”
• Must specify at least one chemical for which a warning is being provided if it is a label included anywhere other than on the product or its exterior packaging.
• May use a truncated format that does not reference the specific chemical at issue if it is a label included on the product or its exterior packaging. 

Examples of acceptable warning labels under the new regulations:  

• WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including [name of one or more chemicals], which is [are] known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
• WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including [name of one or more chemicals], which is [are] known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
• WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including [name of one or more chemicals], which is [are] known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
