2022“Constructive notice occurs when a consumer has inquiry notice of the terms of service and takes an affirmative action to demonstrate assent to them.” (Needleman v. Golden 1 Credit Union (2020) 474 F.Supp.3d 1097 , 1103 (Needleman); Nguyen, supra, 763 F.3d at p. 1173 .) “Inquiry notice, in turn, hinges on whether a reasonably prudent user would have been aware of the applicable terms.” (Needleman, supra, 474 F.Supp.3d at p. 1103; Specht v.

Consistent with this purpose, the primary focus of section 1985.3 is the establishment of the required notice to the consumer and the: process by which the consumer may challenge subpoenas seeking confidential records.

Indeed a recent Ninth Circuit opinion, relying on the analysis of Medtronic , held the MDA does not preempt Proposition 65 warnings 10 for *1386 dental amalgam. 11 (Stratton, supra, 92 F.3d 807 , 810.) “Proposition 65 is a state law of general applicability which was not enacted ‘with respect to’ medical devices.” (Id. at p. 813.) Rather, “Proposition 65 applies to all products and services that pose a health risk to the public.” (Ibid.)
