Is this an Eco friendly Product? Is there any disclosure on product regarding California's Proposition 65?

Alas, I can't answer your specific question about Eco friendliness or how it may or may not relate to California's Proposition 65, but as a Wisconsin resident 9 mos. of the year and Montana the rest, I can testify it very substantially reduced dangerous slipperiness on tile outside both residences as we dealt with rain, snow and inevitable ice. After guests had two falls in 1 week in MT, we applied Safe Grip and no one slips anymore. Only been in use one winter, so can't address durability, but we're greatly relieved to have a product we can apply, sparingly, that reduces slipperiness to the point it's no longer an issue.

Could not find anything on the container with that information. But I highly recommend the product. Works well.

Just checked with the company....the product hasn't had the Prop 65 warning on it for over a year. The warning was due to one of the chemicals in the fire retardant that they were required to add, but since that requirement was lifted, they no longer use the fire retardant and therefore have removed the Prop 65 warning.

The green refers to being eco-friendly. There is nothing in it that is harmful to the environment.

As far as I know, the CA Prop 65 applies to the drinking water of that state and any possible chemicals in the water. Since you are not drinking either the salt or the basket, I believe its safe. I've had mine in use for over 2 years and have no ill effects whatsoever. Neither have any of my pets.

Greetings, Jenni. I found the following representations on the Aurorae yoga website: All yoga mats are free from Phthalates, Latex and Silicone All products are SGS approved (World's Largest Testing Agency) Classic & Northern Lights yoga mats are biodegradable and made from eco-safe PER The towel is microfiber. The company touts the fact its products are "ecofriendly." What I can say is that I actually washed my towel prior to using it. I'm not particularly sensitive to allergens, but I did it anyway to get a nice clean fresh start. I love my towel. I have had absolutely no problems, and it is wonderfully soft and absorbent. Best wishes to you. Namaste. Written by Ginette Mayas.

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.

Some states require Prop 65 warnings on basically everything. I'm assuming this company is based in CA, since that's where these warnings are most prevalent. You might notice it on buildings, too. This isn't condemnation of the product - it's a fact of life in CA.

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.

Keith Kreider, I will have to contact the manufacturer to know for sure, however, I suspect it is because there is a California Proposition 65 Warning on the system. Customer Service TheBetterBuy

I've heard nothing of the sort. That doesn't mean anything, though, since California has too many stringent rules and I can't keep up with all of them. I've use this product for several years without issue, but that's just me. I think it's worth trying, but you'll have to use your best judgment. What is the chemical that you're concerned about?

Prop. 65 is a CA State initiative. It does not necessarily mean it is harmful or carcinogenic. Call the manufacturer for more info.Here is an useful link on this Prop.: http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/p65faq.html

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

There was no indication that the product as to the status of BPA. It does say that the product is environmentally friendly and dishwasher safe. You probably need to contact the company at CustomerService@Medelcoinc.com or call 1-888-MEDELCO.

Excellent question. The short answer is NO! The long answer is in my review-the top review as of today's date-titled "Greenwashing: 100% PRE-Consumer". Here's the link for my review:

All the information I've been able to find on Proposition 65 is pretty vague. It it supposed to warn consumers of "chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm" As far as I can tell, there is no thought given to the amount of these chemicals - some of which you can't escape in the manufacturing process. More info can be found here: http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/p65faq.html Although the most helpful line from the faq seems to be: "To request more information regarding the chemical exposures that are the basis of the warning, contact the manufacturer of the product." If I had to guess what chemical warranted the proposition 65 warning, I would guess cadmium.
