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.

Because there's lead in this product. I just contacted the company and found this out. I will be sending mine back.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Any news or clarification on the Prop 65 warning? How can it be clarified if the manufacturer doesn't know why the warning has been marked on their product? I want to purchase this machine, but hesitate until this issue is cleared up.

The CA Prop 65 warning indicates a product contains compounds that could cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. I typically avoid anything that has that label associated with it. Before this product ever had this label, however, we purchased it for our children. I suspect that the plastic pieces, the magnets sandwiched between the plastic pieces, or even the glossy coating on the pattern cards are things that contain "less than desirable chemicals". Now for my most humblest of opinions...practically every toy for sale on amazon and in local stores probably qualify for that label. Whether it contains lead, or BPA, bromide, chloride, etc. Just because a toy doesn't have that warning doesn't mean it doesn't qualify. I looked everywhere on the packaging for this toy for the CA prop 65 warning and didn't find it. Unfortunately, one never truly knows what yucky chemicals are hiding in children's toys. If you want a truly non-toxic toy, you need to stick with unfinished wooden toys. Hopefully change is on the horizon for toy manufacturers.

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.

http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/p65faq.html says the manufacturer puts the warning on the product. Where did you see the warning?

I emailed NutriCology and they sent me the information on CA Prop 65. This was very helpful in understanding about the naturally occuring lead and other metals. Feel Free to Contact them.

I found a response from Organic India about this warning label that they are required to place on their product. http://organicindiausa.com/prop65/ I am not sure if the recall might be due to the relabeling that would need to be done. The ones I bought did not contain that label on the package since it pre-dated the requirement.

Hi Thomas It is a long explanation about California's law! California is required by law to put the sticker on the bottle if they contain lead. Also if you go on Nature's Plus website, it tells you that lead is in the vitamin. You can e-mail them and they will explain it to you. I did a lot of research about the vitamins but ended up coming off of them! They really are an excellent vitamin but because of the lead mainly and I found out that according to my age and the required amounts of certain ingredients I needed, the amounts of their ingredients were way too high!! So I went back to my Centrum and got a supplement of b-12. That's really where all the energy they provide comes from!! They have a very high level of b's in their vitamins! Just pull up the ingredients, compare and do your homework! Hopes this helps!

Not to my knowledge. I haven't had any issues with it. Not sure what the Prop 65 warning is since I am located in DC.

It's mostly because the State of CA has gone WAY overboard. See http://www.nutribiotic.com/ca_notice.html for the reason it is labled. This product is as safe to eat as a raw apple.

I cancelled my order after reading the Prop 65 warning and today I just saw this update. Thanks for the update. If Amazon is in error they should go ahead and remove the warning. Its confusing the customers.
