Waht is that proposition 65 warning on the product description? It says it may contain lead? how can it have lead if it's plastic?

Interesting that other DUPLO products don't have the warning. Thank you for noticing.

If even it had lead then certainly it doesn't have lead in that quantity that could harm someone

The packaging I received does have a Prop 65 warning saying it contains chemicals known to the state of CA to cause cancer and/or birth defects...I'm assuming that includes lead.

When I emailed them, the manufacturer stated that the brass valve on the bottle contains a small amount of lead. They ship these out of California so by law they have to print the warning on the bottle.

I am not familiar with Proposition 65 - Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 in California. I would treat this as a warning -- move on with using the product (which I love) because it is obviously very minimal impact due to the size of the stools. Check the rules on the proposition and decide for yourself is you should return them. I do not recall such a sticker on mine when I received them but maybe it applies to the state they are being shipped to.

I checked and the manufacture stated it meets proposition 65, also state law in California where the Crock comes from states that they have to disclose if there is lead in the product, Since the product comes from Cal and they have to deal with several laws (federal & state) pertaining to lead your can feel safer knowing it's lead free. Also our 1st crock we have had over a year and works with no leaks, we purchased the 2nd one 6 mouths later, when the time comes and we need another we will purchase from "For Your Water" again. Hope this belays your fears some

There is nothing on the label saying it contains lead or mercury. It does says it complies with all standards from the US FCC.

I checked the bottle and YES there is the Prop 65 warning, but said nothing about lead content.

The CA Prop 65 warning indicates a product contains compounds that could cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. I typically avoid anything that has that label associated with it. Before this product ever had this label, however, we purchased it for our children. I suspect that the plastic pieces, the magnets sandwiched between the plastic pieces, or even the glossy coating on the pattern cards are things that contain "less than desirable chemicals". Now for my most humblest of opinions...practically every toy for sale on amazon and in local stores probably qualify for that label. Whether it contains lead, or BPA, bromide, chloride, etc. Just because a toy doesn't have that warning doesn't mean it doesn't qualify. I looked everywhere on the packaging for this toy for the CA prop 65 warning and didn't find it. Unfortunately, one never truly knows what yucky chemicals are hiding in children's toys. If you want a truly non-toxic toy, you need to stick with unfinished wooden toys. Hopefully change is on the horizon for toy manufacturers.

I did not see anything in the paper work that said there was lead in it. Thats all I can tell you. I gave it as a gift.

I just became aware that lead is a problem in these crocks. I just had mine tested with an XRF gun and the result was 28ppm. I believe that is not a safe level... I'm sending mine back. I don't know if it came with a prop 65 warning b/c I already threw away all of the packaging.

Hi Thomas It is a long explanation about California's law! California is required by law to put the sticker on the bottle if they contain lead. Also if you go on Nature's Plus website, it tells you that lead is in the vitamin. You can e-mail them and they will explain it to you. I did a lot of research about the vitamins but ended up coming off of them! They really are an excellent vitamin but because of the lead mainly and I found out that according to my age and the required amounts of certain ingredients I needed, the amounts of their ingredients were way too high!! So I went back to my Centrum and got a supplement of b-12. That's really where all the energy they provide comes from!! They have a very high level of b's in their vitamins! Just pull up the ingredients, compare and do your homework! Hopes this helps!

I'm sorry, I don't know if it's lead free or not. Unfortunately the packaging it came in did not have that information either. I was not aware that lead in that product could be a possibility. Thank you for the question.

It's because of California's Prop 65. Lead occurs naturally in MANY vegetables, fruits, etc. That's what the label is about. Don't be upset - just educate yourself. You can start at MacroLife's website. They have a great explanation about the lead warning there.

I just live chatted with Kitchen Aid and they said that the ceramic pot has tested lead and cadmium "free" and that the product does *not* require a california prop 65 warning. I think that's as close as one can get to being certain that it's lead free before purchasing and testing yourself.

Because the state of CA requires them to put it there if it can be distributed into CA. May be lead or any number of other things that the product could have in it or may not have in it.... Read here: http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65/background/p65plain.html

I wondered the same thing but lead isn't mentioned anywhere on the packaging or the item. I think you would have to contact the manufacturer to get an answer to this question.

Prop 65 -is not a standard, Unlike FDA and does not set a limit or standard no matter how small- It is A WARNING for people that some metal exists in the product.
