Target also has the Prop 65 Warning for this Zojirushi coffee maker so I would be suspect that the CSR's just don't know what they are talking about. I believe the saying is 'culpable deny ability' for the management.

It's probably because of the cord. The same warning is on my toaster and it says the cord contains lead and advised to wash your hands after touching. So coffee brewed in it should be fine, just don't lick the cord! The same warning is on Christmas tree light cords, artificial Christmas trees, etc., because they contain lead.

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.

Please note: according to the manufacturer, the Zojirushi EC-BD15 coffeemaker does not have a Proposition 65 warning. Its inclusion on the product detail page was an error and has been corrected.

"copper metal components...possibly contaminating your drink with trace amounts of the copper... known to cause cancer...".Considering all the copper pipe used for water supply lines in California (and elsewhere), contamination from your coffee pot are the LEAST of your worries, IF you think copper is a problem (it isn't, although lead leaching from the solder joints in your plumbing HAVE been a source of concern, albeit minor).In litigation-happy California, the warning is plastered on just about everything, making it relatively useless to rely upon.

I've heard that now coffee itself sold in California will be required to carry a similar posting. Anyone else heard that?

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 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.

Mine doesn't have that warning labeled on it. From what I just googled that label is a California requiredment. I honestly am not familiar with much of the cancer causing ingredients in anything. I personally will look further into this subject. Good question. Good stuff.

Good Morning, My name is Mayra Flores, an employee at Rogers Family Coffee Company, the manufacturer for these San Francisco Bay products. In response to your inquiry, the current issue is caused because this product that is sold by and shipped by Amazon is out of stock. Our San Francisco Bay 80ct is not being offered for Prime shipping by Amazon at the moment because Amazon is out of stock on this product and the system defaults to a third party seller and higher price. Therefore while Amazon is out of stock, the only way to buy this product on Amazon is through a third party reseller and this why Amazon customers come across the issue of higher prices. For future reference when buying our products through Amazon, be careful that it is not through a third party seller. You can look for the tag that says "sold and shipped by Amazon". A third party seller will have a different sold by name and the price will probably be higher. I would advise that you check back on Amazon in a day or two to see if this product is back in stock. If you have any issues or questions on the price that is being sold on Amazon by these third party resellers, please contact Amazon customer service. If you have any more questions and/or concerns regarding our products please contact me at mflores@rogersfamilyco.com and reference your original amazon question so that I can further better assist you. Thank You and have a great day.

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.

All Breville products are food safe and compliant with all applicable U.S. product safety regulations and requirements.

I have had my coffee maker for approximately 2 weeks and love it. I am not disappointed about the stainless steel mug as it clearly stated that is wasn't included! If you see a picture of a another coffee maker & there is a coffee cup on display on the box would you expect a mug? , especially if the box/description says "not included". I feel people are making way to big of a deal over the travel mug, who cares, most of us have more than enough anyway. Love that I can brew one cup or us a K-cup for an afternoon pick me up or beprew a pot in the morning. Like not having clutter on my counter or having to pull out different coffee makers. This one does it all. I have had my coffee maker for approximately 2 weeks and love it. I am not disappointed about the stainless steel mug as it clearly stated that is wasn't included!

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.

Did anyone hear more from the manufacturer? Amazon incorrectly listed a Prop 65 warning for a crib that I purchased (after much research to confirm that Amazon was wrong). I wonder if this is an error too. I hope so! Thanks.

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

Hi M. Kelly...........I love my Warning Coffee Maker. I use any grind that I want and I especially like the fine grind - works great! What is really nice about this coffee maker is that the carafe does not drip like most makers today.

I am not familiar with Proposition 65 - Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 in California. I would treat this as a warning -- move on with using the product (which I love) because it is obviously very minimal impact due to the size of the stools. Check the rules on the proposition and decide for yourself is you should return them. I do not recall such a sticker on mine when I received them but maybe it applies to the state they are being shipped to.

It seems to me that with the numbers being the same that a "LETTER" should follow the number; ie."R" would indicate that the item is Red in color and a "B" would indicate a Black unit. That's the only Rationale I can suppose at this time. May consider contacting Amazon or directly to Hamilton Beach for a more educated answer. The coffee Maker is fine and makes great coffee..........in time. Compared to other brands, it's somewhat slow. I hope this helps.Thanks for the inquiry.

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.
