Hey, we are not mind readers here. I don't live in California and have no idea about what you're really talking about. If you were more clear perhaps one of us out-of-staters could help you.

Since the nuclear plant had and explosion, I wouldn't feel comfortable taking any product that is naturally harvested in that area. Don't take a chance. If i see California Prop 65, I don't buy it. There is a reason for the 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.

Seem to be made of steel. Nice and hefty. But, I have no idea what CA prop 65 refers to.

Customer support said that it has California proposition 65 warning. So it is not free of carcinogens.

Well, I didn't see the warning label, but I do know that California has some weird laws that you need to follow in order to sell some things there. They have a list of chemicals that can cause harm (they do not note that there are safe levels of some of these chemicals, like lead for example) and if you have product that has any trace amounts on that list, the mfr has to put a warning somewhere. It is only California that has this legislation. Even the FDA has a 'safe" amount level for the chemicals. I know some companies only put the warning on California invoices in order not to scare everyone.

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

California puts that on almost everything so you can ignore it. Take a look at the California Proposition 65 (1986) on wikipedia.

There is no lead in this product. Any prop 65 warnings you see are because the state in which the product is made has laws concerning notices about lead. You might notice it on buildings in states like CA, as well. The product is lead-free. The state is over-zealous on labeling.

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 Product Detail section of the page, though, does include a Prop 65 warning, but I know from experience many companies check that on Amazon simply to cover their bases.

Type in proposition 65 salt lams and read it. This item should not be sold!

Yes, it does. On the tag, it states: "California Proposition 65: the brass in this product contains lead. Warning: this product contains one or more chemicals know to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Mine were not labeled with a sticker. I do not live in California. First thing I did was to wax mine when they were assembled. I would suspect that a person could paint them with a clear acrylic coating if there was concern about the finish. This is what I found on the subject: What Is Proposition 65? In 1986, California voters approved an initiative to address their growing concerns about exposure to toxic chemicals. That initiative became the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, better known by its original name of Proposition 65. Proposition 65 requires the State to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. This list, which must be updated at least once a year, has grown to include approximately 800 chemicals since it was first published in 1987. http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/background/p65plain.html

Most items produced, shipped, or sold in or around California have the proposition 65 warming on them from fast-food restaurants to cars to shampoo. An important note is that the presence a Prop 65 warning does not necessarily indicate a product itself is specifically unsafe. Materials and compounds used in the manufacturing of Breville products are considered proprietary and may not be disclosed. All Breville products are food safe and compliant with all applicable U.S. product safety regulations and requirements.

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
