I received the bag today. I like the looks of it, but I was really concerned about the cancer warning label. Is it safe? Should I return?

Well, I didn't see the warning label, but I do know that California has some weird laws that you need to follow in order to sell some things there. They have a list of chemicals that can cause harm (they do not note that there are safe levels of some of these chemicals, like lead for example) and if you have product that has any trace amounts on that list, the mfr has to put a warning somewhere. It is only California that has this legislation. Even the FDA has a 'safe" amount level for the chemicals. I know some companies only put the warning on California invoices in order not to scare everyone.

I am not sure. It didn't state anything about breast cancer, my collegue next to me got purple even a few dollars less. I would suggest looking at all of them--different offerings. He got his for less than mine but without a case. If I were to guess it is a color a dealer has too much of? It certainly didn't mention breast cancer or anything like that. D.

I cannot find any tag/label which indicates that it contains cancer causing chemicals. That is not to say there aren't any proven cancer toxins since companies are not required to indicate that fact unless it is sold in California. Wish I could be of more help. I am concerned about toxicity in products too.

Do a controlled test. Try one bag each way, and see if you can notice any difference. I have stored ours at rt, with good results.

I don't believe the Diabetes Bag listed a medical waste container. I didn't expect one and didn't get one. I think it's better not to assume, but rather make sure you know what you are ordering.

I purchased this bag about 2 months ago. I have not used and leather treatment to date. I plan on using some during the warmer months as it may dry the bag out at that time. As a side note, this bag is great. Better then advertised and gets me daily compliments from strangers.

It all depends on the weight of what you have in the bag. If it just clothing in the bag, I have not had that problem, You just have to use common sense!

All bags arrive sealed; I see no reason why the bag would not be safe for food. I use them from time to time for purse pills as well as for my jewelry. I have no problems re-opening or closing them either.

I can't say for sure but try it if it don't send it back, it is a very good camers bag we love it.

No, honestly I can't see why this is an issue. The handle comes with a warning label that explains that it contains materials that IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA are considered to POSSIBLY cause cancer. They do that because of the amount of people that sue in California thinking that random materials caused their cancer. I wouldn't worry about it. The label is only there to prevent getting sued.

I don't know why it says that. I think it must be a misprint. The bag I ordered does not have that on it.

I think that's only in CA, but this bag didn't come with any warnings. I can't imagine how it could be harmful, though.

I have the red as well, just purchased last month. I am a little concerned as the one I saw in person before my purchase had a McKelin tag on it. This one does not, and no place on the bag does it say McKlein. Could it be a fake? It is beautiful, but I have concerns. Anyone else?

I have ordered on 3 different occasions and each time "food grade" was plainly printed on the bag.I would be cautious and return if there is a pet involved or using around food storage. Hope this helped you in some way.

Whoa, I hope not. I just inspected mine and I don't see any warning labels. However, my container is from last Ocrober and doesn't look like the one in the pic.

If your package has a small white sticker on the back, peel it off and see where it came from. If from China, buy at your own risk. I value my Papillons enough not to take chances, even though when I bought them last winter I was not aware of the warning. When I came aware (I don't remember where I read the article,unfortunately) I trashed the remaining two bags I had. The rest is up to you. Hope this has helped you.

I am not 100% sure what exactly you are asking. But if I get your drift you are wondering if this product is legitimate since it has a "sicker label"? Unless someone is trying to resell it and has put a shabby looking / fake sticker on it..then it is NOT Legit. However, if it has a nice, shiny, UV coated Sticker of high quality, then it is ours. All our bags come in a high end resealable, food grad bag and with a very nice label on it, which happen to be a sticker of high quality. Hope this helps. Regards, Alf (owner)
