This 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.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monxide, formaldehyde,
