Why is there a "Proposition 65 warning" on these gloves? Is there anything them I should know about?

I do not even know what that is. Just looked it up. Not good. Maybe wash them a few times before you wear them.

Proposition 65 requires the State to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. In other words. These gloves are manufactured with chemicals that the state of California considers cancerous or harmful. That's just what I got from researching it. Hope this helps

Don't eat them, and don't microwave them until they melt or start to steam. Probably not a good idea to leave them in the car on a 100F day either, but like Richard M. said, they tend to stick Prop 65 on everything in Cali. It's just a warning that there might (might!) be something potentially toxic/poisonous (i.e. plastic, neoprene, almost anything you shouldn't eat) in them. Don't gnaw on them and you should be fine.

I haven't had any problem with these gloves and I use them on a regular basis.

Hi Anthony,The bottle I have doesn't have the prop 65 warning on it. I e-mailed the company that makes sonne's #7 to get you the correct answer to this question. I will have the answer to you tomorrow since their company is closed today. Thank you, Sandy

That reply doesn't make sense at all! The warning has nothing to do with conforming to regulations -- it is about containing harmful chemicals....I'm guessing that rep has no clue what the prop 65 warning is.I submitted a question on their site too, so I will post again if I get a different response.Thanks for the reply!

HiThe only thing I am sure about are the gloves, they are Europrene. Sorry!!!

I never really noticed. Why does that matter? You're working out and they feel comfortable and properly cushion your hand. The only thing I've seen is that the edges around the wrist area absorb a little sweat. I use the natural coloured one and would not have noticed this as much with the black gloves but I still like the colour I chose. :)

The information has faded off my pair, I've used them so much. Contact Burt's Bees directly - they have wonderful customer service. I can tell you the gloves have withstood many uses and washings, and are still in good shape.

Matias will be best to answer the Pro4 answer; however, the keyboard layout will be a good indicator. The Pro3 I have has volume controls above the numeric keypad; the Pro4 has 18 F-keys and the volume is on F10 -F12. As far as "dangers relating to Prop 65," if memory serves, this is the lead-containing paint prop in California; being a Canadian company, Matias isn't bound by its provisions necessarily (the keys are laser etched and color-molded not painted)... if truly concerned, ask them about RoHS compliance and/or being Pb-free and make a judgement call (using Pb-solder isn't generally hazardous unless you take the keyboard apart and eat the PCB :)

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I wonder if they've changed the way the make the gloves. That would be disappointing.

I don't actually see a question here. But yes, that's what they claim they are. However the gloves offer nearly NO insulation, if you grab cold metal with them on it will cut straight through the glove. I got some 3M motorcycle gloves with "thinsulate" that offered significantly better insulation for about 30 bucks. They're out of stock on Amazon, or I'd link them.

Sorry ...Could not say for sure....gloves were heavy duty but given as a gift so I have no experience with them on a first hand basis

Aside from the photos, is there a specific question we might be able to answer for you regarding these gloves? Sincerely, Philip, Dream Products

I wondered about that, too! However, the gloves are really longer than they appear: about 3-1/2" to 4" long in the cuff. They cover just the right amount. For example, when I use the gloves to open a boiling pot, the steam has no effect on me. They are truly just long enough. I have put my hands into the oven to take out a dish without pulling out the oven tray and had no ill effects. I've used them grilling and experienced absolutely no discomfort when cooking. These gloves wash up wonderfully, and I use them every single time I cook, every single day. You will appreciate having two pair. I honestly cannot find one bad thing to say about these gloves.

Which crime ridden city are you referring to because this really makes a huge difference in how well the Kevlar will perform. All I know is don't wear them while master-bating. The gloves will not hold up to hours of abuse as this. I have tested frequently

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!

While I did indeed take the warranty claims into heavy consideration before taking a chance and buying these gloves, all I can tell you is that my experience with these gloves has been extensive and very positive. They have handled hundreds of hours of use, with very little wear. No splits, rips, or disappointments of any kind. I feel like I have already gotten my money's worth out of these gloves, and I can tell they still have a very long lifespan ahead. I don't know how to explain the supposed difference in quality for other buyers; I can only speak for my own purchase experience, which has been totally positive.

Yes. I was confused with the way the descriptions are written. I love my gloves. They make my hands feel so much better. I wear them at night and they provide relief from swelling and pain.

I am not familiar with any other version of these gloves. Those are the ones that I purchased.
