If you move out of California, you won't receive these silly notices anymore, and you won't worry yourself needlessly. I'd recommend doing so immediately.

Your kitchen faucet contains far more lead than this device. Anything with brass or similar metals will have lead. Just don't lick the tape measure and you'll be ok.

State law requires this silly label on everything that has even trace amounts of any harmful chemical, even if there is no chance of it leaching out and the only way it can get into you is eating the product. Since said product can be any random device, electronics gizmo, whatever they have only served to trivialize warnings and cause valid ones to be ignored. Rest assured however that somewhere a flaming liberal can now sleep better at night now that he's screwed it up for everyone else but thinks he made a difference in the world.

It's because of California's Prop 65. Lead occurs naturally in MANY vegetables, fruits, etc. That's what the label is about. Don't be upset - just educate yourself. You can start at MacroLife's website. They have a great explanation about the lead warning there.

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.

I think toy manufacturers and retailers (including Amazon) should include the information of where the product was made. US consumers should not have to buy home lead tests to ensure the safety of toys, especially infant toys/books.

The label has california prop 65 warning.. Says there is lead in this product. -- I just looked at the pictures here on amazon.

There is no mention of lead or any other content on the product. There is no CA Prop 65 label...only one that says it was made in Mexico.

I contacted Optimox to inquire and was told that it does not contain mercury, and that they test the product for metals. If it is contaminated, it gets tossed. It is manufactured in California.

I believe that this product is all natural. It has no additives, chemicals, or GMO. That would also lead me to believe that it does not contain any leads or metals such as mercury. I hope that this helps.

The product is made in the USA. Mostly organic ingredients. Uses WHOLE food processing. Not sure about their testing protocols for something like lead. Not sure how lead would get into a natural product. I do know that they are considered a very reputable company. I trust their products at this time.

In California, according to Proposition 65, anything that contains ANY substances known as a possible carcinogen must be labelled. That includes all kinds of compounds, including anything with lead in them. Basically, nearly every new piece of electronics, new cars, really just about everything gets the label slapped on to it. A well intentioned law and a bit alarming regarding the prevalence of carcinogens, but it is extremely common for products to have that label and doesn't really have much meaning.

I would be totally shocked if this powder contains lead or any other harmful ingredients. But I am not the producer. I would try checking with Amazon if you are concerned, they may give you the producer's name.

Alluminum and Nickle lead all caused cancer but you said that you thought that they may have be taken heavy metal out of their product and that is too what I read somewhere. Phennylalamine is an amino acid and the state of California has banned it .Do you think they took it out too?Please e mail me if allowed if bit leave a comment thx medicine

spoke to rep about this. very nice and helpful. she stated that the lead comes from water and soil. no different from anything that grows in soil. only exceeds ca levels at max starting dose of 6 tabs a day.

Yes it is. I was concerned just like you, Jean Paul. Mine had an insert that said complies with California safety regulation on lead. Hope that helps.

When I emailed them, the manufacturer stated that the brass valve on the bottle contains a small amount of lead. They ship these out of California so by law they have to print the warning on the bottle.

I received my bottle with capsules this week. Indeed, there is a warning that it contains lead. Did a quick search and found a claim filed by an attorney against the company for exceeding allowable amounts of lead (whatever that means). There is not much more info... but i spent only about 5 minutes searching. I wonder if i should take it (already taken several capsules). Anyone has spoken with the company or has more info?

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.
