Reading guide · Party fields

Read the field label before interpreting a name

A name in a Prop 65 record can identify the noticing party, an alleged violator or the listed plaintiff attorney. Keep those roles separate when reading or searching the archive.

Official field labels checked October 30, 2026; mapped to the Prop65Radar archive schema.

Fictional example: three fields, three roles

All names below are invented teaching labels. This is not a filed notice and has no AG number.

Noticing Party

Archive field: noticingParty

Example Noticing Group (fictional)

The party listed as giving the notice.

This label does not establish that a court found the allegation to be true.

Alleged Violators

Archive field: allegedViolators

Example Seller A; Example Seller B (fictional)

The people or entities named as alleged violators in that record.

Being listed is not a finding of liability. A shared field does not establish ownership or a corporate relationship between the names.

Plaintiff Attorney

Archive field: plaintiffAttorney

Example Notice Counsel (fictional)

The attorney or firm listed under this label in the official notice entry.

Do not read this as counsel for the alleged violators, for you, or as proof of current representation in every later proceeding.

Use the role to guide the next lookup

Keep the name and its field label together in your notes. Do not combine all names into a list of defendants.
Match the AG number before comparing the notice with a complaint or settlement. Later entries can have different parties.
For a real notice, open the official record and its documents. A blank archive field should stay unknown until the source supplies it.

The fictional labels are unrelated to Urban Packaging or any party in the linked records. The archive organizes public allegations; it does not decide liability or establish an attorney-client relationship.
