I wanted to get this, but I am worried about the Prop 65 warning for CA residents under product. What about this product warrants that warning?

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 prop 65 warning is something that was put in place a long time ago. These stickers would be removed but it costs too much money to take the issue back to the legislation. They are placed on just about anything that comes from outside of CA. I wouldn't worry about it ; ) http://www.ksl.com/?sid=27711857 check this article out, it describes the process better.

You may wish to do further research by going to their website: www.yerbaprima.com You may also direct questions of this nature to their email: yerba@yerbaprima.com This is all the info I have at this time. Since I live on the East Coast, I am not aware of the Cali Prop 65 that you mention.

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

It's California specific. Here's some good info on Proposition 65 - which requires this for CA only. http://www.itmonline.org/arts/prop65.htm

Proposition 65 was passed in California in 1986 and requires the State to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The list includes over 800 chemicals and compounds, including some which occur naturally in the environment and some common substances that are beneficial when used in appropriate doses. In order to comply with California Proposition 65, we print a warning on every invoice being shipped into the state of California. Some of the substances on the Proposition 65 list occur naturally in both the environment and the human body and also exist naturally in many of the foods we eat. Therefore, it can be expected that trace levels of the same chemicals would be detectible in virtually all herbal and natural dietary supplement products. If you would like further information on Proposition 65 please contact The Food and Drug Administration or The Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Outreach and Information Center, maintains a consumer information hotline at the following number: Toll-Free Information Line: (888) 723-3366.

Well, I'm not a doctor, but I'm guessing that the tag makes reference to the fill material, which is little polystyrene (Styrofoam) pellets. I imagine that as long as no one EATS the pellets, there will be no danger. Incidentally, if you look around your house, you'll probably be able to find several products that California warns against for various reasons; including such warnings is a legal requirement in order to sell products in the state of California. In short, it's nothing to worry about.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&nodeId;=3234041This explains Prop 65 in detail. In reply to your question however, it can be both the electrical components AND the salt itself that could lead to that warning label. Some places where the salt is mined are exposed to many environmental challenges (mercury, lead, plastic & petroleum toxins, chemicals, etc.) and since we dont know exactly which salt mine/deposit it came from, we cant know for sure. They originate from the Himalayas(in Pakistan) Im sure theyve tested this however, keep in mind however that whatever elements are causing the warning , are within a relatively safe level and the label is just there per California state law to inform you. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&nodeId;=3234041This explains Prop 65 in detail.

I don't know the answer regarding CA Prop 65 but I do know this is the worst protein powder I have ever used. I have tried to use it since it wasn't cheap but the chalky taste is just TERRIBLE.

Thanks for your interest in this item. Please note some products are prohibited to ship for State of California. It might be due to legal jurisdiction or by local laws.

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. :)

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!

Sorry, I returned the product. It does look sturdy though and was well packed. Looked like a good buy. I wasn't comfortable about the California Disclaimer. That should have been noted on the site.

Okay, so I've seen posts where everyone is saying Californians are way too crazy about everything causing cancer. It just sucks when your buying something for your health and you feel good about it, then you open it up and it says it just might give you cancer. lol - not funny good.
