All products sold by NutriBiotic, in light of the fact that one or more of the chemicals identified on http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65.html may be present in such products, whether because it is found in the environment or otherwise. Nearly all foods contain certain levels of one or more of the following: arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. Ironically, the amounts established by Proposition 65 are less than what occurs naturally in numerous fruits, vegetables, and water. The Proposition 65 standards are so tough that the following natural products are in violation of Proposition 65: Yams, turnips, apples, tomatoes, artichokes, carrots, cucumbers, green beans, lettuce, spinach, potatoes, corn, and many, many more fruits and vegetables. For instance, carrots contain 12.80 micrograms of arsenic in a one cup serving; green beans contain 28.75 micrograms of lead in a one cup serving, 56 times the allowable limit! The limits established by Proposition 65 are as follows: Arsenic: 10 micrograms Cadmium: 4.1 micrograms Lead: 0.5 micrograms Mercury: 0.3 micrograms Vitamin products containing all natural ingredients are naturally going to contain these substances. Evidence indicates that any of the above that may be present is there only as a result of the environmental conditions in which vegetables are grown, and thus occur naturally in the products.

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.

Per Godinger.com, the crystal on their site has a Prop 65 warning for lead. Contacted them and they state this particular item is LEAD FREE.

After writing this feedback I contacted the person who has the distribution in Latin America, and this was her reply. I hope it helps.. Thanks for reaching out to us and sorry for the concern our box warning may have caused. I'm not sure if you have ever heard of prop 65, but here is a blog post that explains it in a little more detail: http://www.redmondclay.com/prop65/. Although there is a varying amount of natural lead many of the foods we eat, and we probably would not even need to have it on a toothpaste, we decided to error on the side of caution and put the label on the box. This is why some of the boxes contain the prop 65 warning and some others don't - yet. We plan to put it on all of them to avoid potential costly prop 65 lawsuits. As you will see in the ingredient list Redmond Clay is the base product for Earthpaste and this type of clay has a lot of elements and minerals in it in varying amounts. Here is an elemental analysis of the clay so you can see everything it has: http://www.redmondtrading.com/pdfs/RedmondClay_MineralAnalysis.pdf. Most clay experts agree that the "harmful" metals in clay are not bioavailable or absorbable by the body because of the way they are attached to the clay, but we can appreciate your concern. Knowing the properties of clay many peopletake clay as a daily supplement and many books have been written on the properties of this type of clay even with the elemental profile of the clay. Here is another link that talks about the aluminum in clay and contains other links on the subject. http://www.redmondclay.com/2012/what-about-the-aluminum-in-redmond-clay/.

Hi Lolabelle, Our facility and product undergoes annual checking in order to maintain Organic Standards. This include checking for any metal components that might have been transmitted through water absorption from the soil, or air. All plants have the tendency to acquire lead because it can be absorbed from soil or air. By doing lab tests regularly, we are able to monitor and keep it at a minimum level, so low to cause a concern. And yes we do have a lab test result for that, which we cannot attach here for there is no option to do so. You may send us an email directly and we'll have it sent to you. Stay positive! Ashley @kissmeorganics Our farm is located in the mountainous coastal province of Fujian.

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.

Yes, the warning is on the tag. It says: "The product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling." I guess I'll be returning mine...

I have no idea what the ingredient is, but apparently it only causes cancer in California, or so the "warning label" says.

How do you know the Skullcandy phones aren't tainted with lead? Just because it isn't labeled? Look at all the Chinese toys that were filled with lead and they weren't labeled. We're are all biting into the apple and we surely will die. Eventually...

I do not see one... you have started to make me wonder whether it could contain lead. My chiropractor's office carries Sonne's #77 and I have often wondered what the difference in formula could be (also bears a difference in price).

It has a California Proposition 65 Warning: "This product contains chemicals known to cause birth defects or reproductive harm".

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

Hi, The state of California enacted Proposition 65 which entitles their residents to be notified when ingestible products contain any ingredients described in the Prop 65 list of compounds that may cause cancer or birth defects. The products that you encounter everyday may have a Prop 65 warning that you were unaware of such as tap water, eye glasses, kitchen applicances etc. Macrolife has listed this on the label that may contain naturally occurring metals. This is due to the naturally occurring state that the products are grown in the ground. We believe in wild harvesting most of our ingredients to preserve their integrity. Prop 65 warning does not necessarily mean a product is in violation of any product-safety standards or requirements. Hope it helps. Thank you.

It dint say anything about what kind of chlorella it is, but Im worry because they put a paper in the bottle that say "this product contains a chemical known to the state of california to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm" thats strange because it didnt have any chemical in the label.

Considering that Baby Einstein has already had a toy recalled for toxic levels of lead (blue block in their Discover & Play Color Blocks), even if they aren't listing the toxins in their toys directly, they are a suspect company. One boy was suspected of being poisoned by these blocks when no other lead-containing items were found in the house. Besides, lead, PVC, and BPA (which you probably get more from in canned foods anyway) aren't the only toxins in toys and other household objects. Many have toxic levels of antimony, bromine, barium (Melissa & Doug has had two recalls in Canada for this), cadmium, arsenic and mercury. I mostly deny my kids the pleasure of putting any toys in their mouths excessively, but if you want to feel a bit safer about toys, try plugging individual toys/companies into HealthyToys.org or www.goodguide.com. You'll get a better feel for who has repeat offenses. I wouldn't trust anything a manufacturer tells you anyway. They have no intention of pulling dangerous toys or disclosing information unless they're forced to by law. Saying that, we own this toy, as it was gifted before we knew what we know now. The kids love to dance to it. I consider it hazardous for the kids to put in their mouths. I imagine it's not doing a lot of damage just being held. And it does play pleasing music :)

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.
