There is a Prop 65 warning for the product. Anyone know what ingredient it is for? TIA

I did a little research after reading your question as it was concerning. In a number of places I noticed other consumers suggesting that California is over doing it and giving everything a prop 65. Playdoh has been around for decades, I highly doubt that it's going to seriously harm any children.

I'm sorry, but as I do not live in California, I have no idea why the CA Prop 65 warning is attached. I don't even know what it is.

I'm not sure, but I'm definitely curious now! When I bought mine I don't recall there being any warnings so you've sparked my interest. According to various sites you have to contact the manufacturer directly to obtain the information, but I really liked the information found on the national cancer institutes website. Here's the link, http://m.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/othercarcinogens/athome/cancer-warning-labels-based-on-californias-proposition-65 Hope that helps a little!

Yikes. I wish I'd seen this before ordering: http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/2013/ucm365989.htm

Because California likes to slap warnings on just about everything. This teether is made from food grade silicone which is not a carcinogen. I have no idea how it would have come by the warning, but I'm not terribly concerned about it. Sometimes it feels like EVERYTHING causes cancer, and silicone is nowhere near the top of the list of my concerns. But hey, way to take a feature used to gain information about a product and turn it into a BS sanctimommy judgement. Kudos. Edit: maybe a better question would be WHY does this product have a prop 65 warning attached. That's actually a useful product question, and I'd be interested in the answer. :-p

Did anyone hear more from the manufacturer? Amazon incorrectly listed a Prop 65 warning for a crib that I purchased (after much research to confirm that Amazon was wrong). I wonder if this is an error too. I hope so! Thanks.

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 really think this is a typo... I looked it up, and found this: "WARNING: The power cord on this product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause [cancer, and] birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling." The above sentence comes from this website: http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/othercarcinogens/athome/cancer-warning-labels-based-on-californias-proposition-65 Given the similarity in the warnings, I think they meant to type "cord" instead of "code" which makes more sense. :) I had wondered about this myself. :)

My packaging contains the Prop. 65 warning, but have no idea why. The bottom line is that I love them and have them all over my home. Tried hooking one up to a small tabletop fountain, but it did not work. Still, would recommend.

I believe it has to do with trace amounts of lead in items grown in soil, which is practically unavoidable. Google Prop 65 and try calling Vibrant Health for clarification. You probably got a container meant for California.

Since the nuclear plant had and explosion, I wouldn't feel comfortable taking any product that is naturally harvested in that area. Don't take a chance. If i see California Prop 65, I don't buy it. There is a reason for the warning.

Any news or clarification on the Prop 65 warning? How can it be clarified if the manufacturer doesn't know why the warning has been marked on their product? I want to purchase this machine, but hesitate until this issue is cleared up.

I don't see that ingredient listed. Lots of other ingredients. Maybe you should go by a store that carries this product and check the list.

Dint buy this kettle. I bought it after much research looking for a bps free and not made in china product and was excited to get this however when we received it- upon opening the box there is a message on the box that says the product has been deemed unsafe by California proposition 65. Upon further research I found that proposition 65 'Proposition 65 regulates substances officially listed by California as causing cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm in two ways'. So FORGET BUYING THIS- god knows what is in the plastic or anything!!! An very disappointed and back to hunting again. Ugh Dint buy this kettle.

The purpose of Proposition 65 is to notify consumers that they are being exposed to chemicals that are known to cause cancer and/or reproductive toxicity. To request more information regarding the chemical exposures that are the basis of the warning, contact the manufacturer of the product.

It looks like a Prop 65 label... thanks to California. Just about every tool made has this somewhere on it... not sure why it's listed as a "feature" though (maybe just a warning to avoid any issues?).

I have looked around but can not find an ingredients list for any of your products. Can you please tell me exactly what is in your product? or send me a link? Thank you.
