Why does this product have a warning label that says: "This product contains lead" ? why would you put lead in it? I am upset!

"Macrolife's website has a page about the issue; the lead content is no higher than that of the foods it is made from." This is the response from a previously asked question on the Macro Reds products. This has to do with Prop 65. A direct quote from the Macrogreens website, to put this in perspective: "Natural green beans contain 28.75 micrograms of lead in a one cup serving, which is an exposure of approximately 50 times the allowed Prop 65 levels."

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.

I was too!!!! I haven't touched it since I read that! Someone on here said that it contains very little lead but ANY is too much to me!

Back of the package states meets or exceeds all US toy testing standards and pass high quality requirements, so that says to me that it doesn't contain lead. i would contact them directly if you still have concerns.

I don't remember, I didn't think this was an issues at the time of purchase so I wasn't actively looking it. Why do you think there would be lead in there to begin with?

There is nothing on the product itself to indicate if there is lead in the product (no text saying "lead free"), and I didn't keep the wrapping so I don't remember if the wrapping had information on lead. I have had no issues with the product, but I, too, have not done a lead test.

I'm betting that warning is given to cover the wacko laws of the State of California. I've taken my unit apart and have seen no lead solder or any other source of lead. It could be that some odd part might have a lead ratio of one lead atom to a trillion of some other metal. Masterbuilt is a reputable company. I seriously doubt if they are going to put any product on the market with a measurable lead content. They are big on customer service and satisfaction. Buy the unit and enjoy it!

Why isn't Cuisinart answering this question? Seems it's an important issue, especially since it's listed as being a lead-free product.

I do not see "lead" on the ingredient label. I saw a few reviews that said that too and was confused by it.

Great question. I wasn't aware that it may contain lead. I'll be getting rid of it if that's true.

To the best of my knowledge there is no lead. I would find it difficult to believe that any item intended for food or drinks would be permitted to be sold unless marked for decorative purposes only.

i don't know. i returned mine because when i got it, it said the element contains lead on a label on the cord.

I specifically looked for lead free. This was sent to my son, directly, so whether it was stated on the box, I don't know. And, he's thrown it away by now. He loved it, though!!

I recently found out that this company carries a brand of Vitamines that have traces of lead that the government considers "safe" I have not yet confirmed that the ORGANIC line has lead. Might want to research that first. If it is lead free then yes, I used to give these to my 2 yo.

Yes, this product does have a warning label. I just received my 1lb maca Powder and saw a warning label on it. I read what Healthworks wrote about Cal Prop 65. We already consume so much lead throughout our daily intakes, so "0.5 mcg/day" using this particular Maca powder adds up to a toxic level. I will return this product. I purchased this before Healthworks post their answer. Since others answered that they did not see a warning label, I purchased it. I should have closely read the small print on the image.

I assume it is lead free as i use it every day, for definite answer, check with manufacture. I do not think it would contain any lead as no body would buy it, if there is any health risk involved.

No, it doesn't. But why would it need to? This is an absolutely 100% pure product - there is no lead and the FDA recognizes it as safe for consumption.

It is NOT lead free. In product details you can read: Proposition 65 warning!

A lot of electronic products have that warning on them, but it is extremely unlikely that anything would happen to you. You would probably have to eat the headphones (lol) in order to see any sort of effect from this. If I were you, I wouldn't let all this talk of lead being "super dangerous" in the news get to you. I wouldn't put too much thought into getting lead poison from a pair of headphones. The amount they use is likely negligible at best.
