This notice is a citizen’s sixty-day Proposition 65 notice dated January 29, 2026, sent by Jay Epps to Beverages & More, Inc. and to California public enforcement agencies. The notice alleges that certain alcoholic beverages sold by the retailer are sources of exposure to the listed chemical ethyl alcohol and that those exposures have occurred without the “clear and reasonable” warnings required by California’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65). The notice identifies ingestion as the route of exposure and lists developmental harm as the toxic endpoint of concern.

The notice includes specific product exemplars in an attached Exhibit A (examples include Bud Light 6 pk 12oz bottle, Don Julio Reposado Tequila 50 ml, Johnnie Walker Red Label Scotch 1.75L, and Seagram’s Gin 1.75L). It states that the alleged lack of required warnings dates back to January 29, 2022, and that consumers—including pregnant users—may ingest ethyl alcohol through the use of the products. The document notes that settlements or court orders arising from this matter must be submitted to the state Attorney General and references conditions incorporated into California’s occupational safety plan concerning Proposition 65’s application to certain manufacturers and employer hazard communication obligations.

As set out in the notice, the sender intends to file a citizen enforcement action unless the alleged violator agrees to one or more measures within the 60‑day period, including recalling sold products, providing clear and reasonable warnings on online product pages (or delisting offending products from the retailer’s website until warnings are provided), and paying any appropriate civil penalties.
