CA Prop 65 Warning? Can someone who has bought this crib confirm whether or not there is an actual warning on the package itself?

the crib I just got was made jan 11 and the packaging states that is CA phase 2 compliant.

I never used it! I returned after the packing slip stated that according to proposition 65, they had to tell me this product will give me cancer and this notice only goes to CA residents in the USA

I emaled Zojirushi and this is what they said:Thank you for your inquiry.Amazon.com has a prop 65 warning on many of Zojirushi items for some reason.We have requested them to remove the warning before as our products havenothing to do with it. We will contact them again to fix the problem.Please feel free to contact me if you have further questions.Sincerely,ChicoZojirushi America Corp.1149 W.190th St., Suite 1000Gardena, CA 902481-800-733-6270 ext 106

I found the same warning on an e-bay seller's page, and on a non-amazon site carrying products for babies and children. If it's a mistake, it's not just Amazon's.

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?

I agree with you.I recently bought a keurig b31 mini and there is no posting on prop 65 on the box. The warning is posted in the manual which can be read after purchase. So now I have the hassel of trying to get a refund. Thw explanation you get from customer service is that the lead does not come in contact with the water. Which sounds like its okay but why do they not state this in the manual too.

No, it's not that bad. All the new furniture are like that. I set up the crib and waited for few days. It went away.

We ordered an Airzone trampoline with the same warning...I wasn't able to get much information from the manufacturer, such as the specific chemical, which really frustrated me because it was a gift for my children, not to mention I am pregnant. However, after researching different manufacturers, we found they all have the same warning...so choosing another product wasn't an option. We read several commentaries, and specifics on the "proposition 65 warning"...the conclusion we came to is that it is most likely not dangerous unless you are ingesting it. We decided to set it up, and instruct our children not to eat it. ;) We ordered an Airzone trampoline with the same warning...I wasn't able to get much information from the manufacturer, such as the specific chemical, which really frustrated me because it was a gift for my children, not to mention I am pregnant.

Here is the text of the warning that comes on the box: Warning: The materials used as colored decorations on the exterior of this product contain lead chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. So the answer is yes.

I had the same problems as Patrick Calahan and Kristin1724. I emailed back and forth with the manufacturer all day today, and was informed "there will still be a gap on the toddler rail." I've since reported this crib to the CPSC (http://www.saferproducts.gov/Default.aspx) because I believe that the design of the converted toddler bed with the rail gap is unsafe. If I had know about this gap before choosing the crib, I would never have chosen the Babyletto Mercer. I now need to purchase a toddler bed for my 22-month-old.

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

I'm glad this was brought up. I haven't bought one yet either however I would imagine it would be wise to buy one now and not wait until its needed in case the crib is discontinued over the years...

WOW...why single my comment out tonight? You did see there were others in this thread who had an issue with CA warnings? I raised three children in CA and all three survived without CA labels on every product that came into the house. I used logic and kept items like earbuds away from them when they were little. I knew CA before they got into their label happy phase. As to your attic and other comments, I will stick them where they belong with all the other labels that go in the trash.

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.

I would suggest NOT buying the crib. It is not put together very well. And some of the parts on the one we bought were missing. My husband had to do a lot of repairs on it before my grandbaby could even sleep in it. Was not a smart buy. Sorry.

Presumably you purchased a California-bound product. Prop 65 is a unique California statute that requires warning for trace amounts of various chemicals. Some of these are naturally-occurring. For details, I would suggest going to the product website - at this link http://www.genesispureteampritchard.com/uploads/2/4/9/1/24915939/faq.pdf and scrolling down to their explanation on Prop 65. I have no independent knowledge about this product, but I presume this is the issue.

I have already returned it AGAIN. They messes up my order. I never opened the bag but I bslieve the picture on the packagdd is correct. If you are looking for the toddler bed set, I may can find out for sure. My daughter I ordered it for ha decided to chsnge the bed to the full size now after all this trouble so the toddler may be for sale if you are interested. NO PETS AND NO SMOKING HOME.Teress
