Prop 65 app comparison
Prop 65 Warning Manager vs Prop65Kit — approved, cited warnings vs theme-editor display
Direct answer. Prop 65 Warning Manager fits when every warning needs merchant approval before it goes live, is published from templates citing 27 CCR 25601–25607 (including 2028 short-form text with chemical names), and has each pick, edit, and activation timestamped in an audit log. A theme-editor display app adds the safe-harbor warning in minutes.
