Why is there a Proposition 65 Calif warning label on this item? Where is the cancer producing, or birth defect chemical or part?

My packaging contains the Prop. 65 warning, but have no idea why. The bottom line is that I love them and have them all over my home. Tried hooking one up to a small tabletop fountain, but it did not work. Still, would recommend.

Possibly it's from the cable, same as pretty much every strand of Christmas lights out there. Wash your hands after installing, and shouldn't have a problem.

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.

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

Some states require Prop 65 warnings on basically everything. I'm assuming this company is based in CA, since that's where these warnings are most prevalent. You might notice it on buildings, too. This isn't condemnation of the product - it's a fact of life in CA.

I don't remember any cancer warning on the label but that doesn't mean it's not there.. I will say this about that particular shower head, I bought it on another site other than (Amazon) and best thing I can say, "DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY" it doesn't work as well as I hoped it would and there are a lot better made shower heads in your local big box stores, thanks for taking the time to ask "one very disappointed customer".. Hope this helped, Bobby!!

I believe it has to do with trace amounts of lead in items grown in soil, which is practically unavoidable. Google Prop 65 and try calling Vibrant Health for clarification. You probably got a container meant for California.

I never used it! I returned after the packing slip stated that according to proposition 65, they had to tell me this product will give me cancer and this notice only goes to CA residents in the USA

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.

Well, I'm not a doctor, but I'm guessing that the tag makes reference to the fill material, which is little polystyrene (Styrofoam) pellets. I imagine that as long as no one EATS the pellets, there will be no danger. Incidentally, if you look around your house, you'll probably be able to find several products that California warns against for various reasons; including such warnings is a legal requirement in order to sell products in the state of California. In short, it's nothing to worry about.

I'm sorry, but as I do not live in California, I have no idea why the CA Prop 65 warning is attached. I don't even know what it is.

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

Presumably you purchased a California-bound product. Prop 65 is a unique California statute that requires warning for trace amounts of various chemicals. Some of these are naturally-occurring. For details, I would suggest going to the product website - at this link http://www.genesispureteampritchard.com/uploads/2/4/9/1/24915939/faq.pdf and scrolling down to their explanation on Prop 65. I have no independent knowledge about this product, but I presume this is the issue.

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. Materials and compounds used in the manufacturing of Breville products are considered proprietary and may not be disclosed. All Breville products are food safe and compliant with all applicable U.S. product safety regulations and requirements.

All nutritional supplements in California contain this warning due to Prop 65. I would not worry about it, because ALL supplements say this.

Proposition 65 was passed in California in 1986 and requires the State to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The list includes over 800 chemicals and compounds, including some which occur naturally in the environment and some common substances that are beneficial when used in appropriate doses. In order to comply with California Proposition 65, we print a warning on every invoice being shipped into the state of California. Some of the substances on the Proposition 65 list occur naturally in both the environment and the human body and also exist naturally in many of the foods we eat. Therefore, it can be expected that trace levels of the same chemicals would be detectible in virtually all herbal and natural dietary supplement products. If you would like further information on Proposition 65 please contact The Food and Drug Administration or The Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Outreach and Information Center, maintains a consumer information hotline at the following number: Toll-Free Information Line: (888) 723-3366.

Doesn't everything? Can't imagine why...maybe pregnant women shouldn't eat it?? I'm looking at the package right now and there's no mention of CA Prop 65. The only warnings are, "may scratch some surfaces", "not for aquarium use", and interestingly enough, "due to the nature of this item, some rusting may occur" - hmmm.
