Is anyone worried about the proposition 65 warning listed under product details that warns that the product contains chemicals that may be carcinogeni

I would not be concerned unless you burn them. They say grilling steak causes carcinogeni. Since they are made for childrens rooms I doubt they would be on the market if there was a problem. I assume it like a coffee pot maker saying the hot water might burn you (legal necessity).

If you constantly worked with this material for hours at a time 3 to 4 days a week then yes, I might use something else. However, I'm using this to block yarn work. This does not take that long nor do you use it that often. There is no odor which you can usually smell if there is an unusual material in the product. Manufacturers have to put these warnings on their products if there is even a minute chance that a carcinogen might be there. You'll notice warnings on a lot of products you might use every day. Can't live your life in fear.

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.

Because California likes to slap warnings on just about everything. This teether is made from food grade silicone which is not a carcinogen. I have no idea how it would have come by the warning, but I'm not terribly concerned about it. Sometimes it feels like EVERYTHING causes cancer, and silicone is nowhere near the top of the list of my concerns. But hey, way to take a feature used to gain information about a product and turn it into a BS sanctimommy judgement. Kudos.Edit: maybe a better question would be WHY does this product have a prop 65 warning attached. That's actually a useful product question, and I'd be interested in the answer. :-p Because California likes to slap warnings on just about everything.

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

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.

I'm not sure but there is a warning on the box that says not to drink from it because it contains chemicals known to cause cancer.

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

on label,"warning: this product contains chemical(s) known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defect or other reproductive harm", but I don't know if it's safe for the sofa!

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.

We ordered an Airzone trampoline with the same warning...I wasn't able to get much information from the manufacturer, such as the specific chemical, which really frustrated me because it was a gift for my children, not to mention I am pregnant. However, after researching different manufacturers, we found they all have the same warning...so choosing another product wasn't an option. We read several commentaries, and specifics on the "proposition 65 warning"...the conclusion we came to is that it is most likely not dangerous unless you are ingesting it. We decided to set it up, and instruct our children not to eat it. ;) We ordered an Airzone trampoline with the same warning...I wasn't able to get much information from the manufacturer, such as the specific chemical, which really frustrated me because it was a gift for my children, not to mention I am pregnant.

Sorry we don't know about any made by another company and we are not aware of it having cancer causing chemicals.

From the Earthpaste website: "We love Earthpaste for the same reasons you do - it does a great job with only a handful of natural, beneficial ingredients. So if every ingredient supports good health, why is there a proposition 65 warning label? Proposition 65 is a California law designed to protect consumers when they use products containing harmful materials. Because of the way the law is enforced, California residents are used to seeing warnings where you'd least expect them-at banks, at Disneyland, and now, on perfectly natural products like Earthpaste. The most important ingredient in Earthpaste is Redmond Clay, a healing clay that has been used medicinally since ancient times. Like many natural foods (including peaches and pears) Redmond Clay contains the tiniest amount of naturally-occurring lead. There is a natural products exemption to prop 65 (otherwise organic green beans and carrots would be 20 times over the limit!) but because of the way proposition 65 is enforced, it would be impossible for a small company like ours to withstand the cost of any "false positives" from aggressive prop 65 law firms. Thus the warning stickers on Earthpaste. We hate doing it - we know our products are safe, we've seen them help thousands of people, and we use them ourselves every day - but a proposition 65 lawsuit, even one we would eventually win, would be really hard for a company our size to survive."

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.

As of Nov 2015, this KitchenAid slow cooker's Amazon listing (the listing here, on this page) has a California Prop 65 warning on it -- I don't know why it has this warning (whether it's due to something in the ceramic pot or in the cord or whatever), but I wanted to point that out because of the answer your question received in Jan 2015 saying that the product did _not_ require a California Prop 65 warning at that point in time.

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.
