Should I be worried about the "may cause cancer" warning?

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

I am unaware of the health risks you mention but it is my practise to warm the pan a bit before I add oil or butter. It's more a matter of timing and routine though. I have ruined a non stick pan before, not a Calphalon, by forgetting I had turned the heat on. It ruined the non stick surface. This might be what the warning was about. However, I sometimes forget and have oiled it immediately with no variance in the results.

I am an oral cancer patient and none of my doctors has suggested that there is any connection between whitening products and oral cancer. You should be a lot more worried about tobacco/alcohol and HPV.

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!

I cannot find any tag/label which indicates that it contains cancer causing chemicals. That is not to say there aren't any proven cancer toxins since companies are not required to indicate that fact unless it is sold in California. Wish I could be of more help. I am concerned about toxicity in products too.

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

Ultimately, no one can say for a fact what all is in our foods. There is too much pollution and secret waste disposal and such things in this country and all over the world that you just have to either ask the company you are buying from and trust what they tell you, grow your own and be responsible for what's in your foods, or trust that if there are not reports of people dying from it, it's probably safe. Take your chances and good luck. But it is pretty stressful to be so paranoid, you know.....

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.

No I really can't, but this is not a meal replacement the patient should worry about. This thing is great to help people with cancer.

No. I don't consider this a serious health risk. You could probably drink this stuff with no problem. But suit yourself.

It's topical. I don't believe I have read anything that says not to. You should be just fine!

I hope not - I didn't see a warning - my son used for several years, but no longer has it

No, honestly I can't see why this is an issue. The handle comes with a warning label that explains that it contains materials that IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA are considered to POSSIBLY cause cancer. They do that because of the amount of people that sue in California thinking that random materials caused their cancer. I wouldn't worry about it. The label is only there to prevent getting sued.

No there is no warning. We light it and our dog is right there. It isn't full of pestacides or harmful chemicals. We love it. I light one and if it isn't done burning when we come inside then I snuff it out and resue it.

Stay away from the tanning jig. It causes cancer. The effects are too much like the sun.

I was under the impression that it would cure my mouth cancer from years of chewing tobacco. At least that's what the vendor told me. Well, it turns out it did not, and things only got worse until I needed an emergency procedure to amputate my tongue. So make sure you're very careful about what this can and can not cure, and don't fully trust Vietnamese street vendors, because I have a sneaking suspicion that he wasn't an authorized dealer despite having over a dozen apple stickers on his push cart.
