No, roundup has been declared a human carcinogen by the state of California, the EPA, the World Health Organization, and several South American and European countries. Monsanto (the company that makes Roundup) has made several deadly chemicals over the years (DDT, Agent Orange) which they declared safe at the time, only to be proven wrong by legitimate third party testing. Roundup is no different. Look into weed torches for safe weed control that won't give you cancer, they are more effective than these chemicals anyway.

VIRTUALLY ALL products have THAT SAME WARNING. California is full of attorneys who love to sue companies and that warning is put on virtually all products sold in california. Some companies actually refuse to sell in CA because of their tort laws.

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.

State law requires this silly label on everything that has even trace amounts of any harmful chemical, even if there is no chance of it leaching out and the only way it can get into you is eating the product. Since said product can be any random device, electronics gizmo, whatever they have only served to trivialize warnings and cause valid ones to be ignored. Rest assured however that somewhere a flaming liberal can now sleep better at night now that he's screwed it up for everyone else but thinks he made a difference in the world.

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

That reply doesn't make sense at all! The warning has nothing to do with conforming to regulations -- it is about containing harmful chemicals....I'm guessing that rep has no clue what the prop 65 warning is.I submitted a question on their site too, so I will post again if I get a different response.Thanks for the reply!

This is the Oatey brand Plumbers Putty. I have not heard about this putty being banned in California because it causes cancer. In fact, I have not heard of any putty being banned in California. Jeff

Hi Mark! Thank you for your inquiry! It is in our policy and contracts with carriers that we don't ship to PO Boxes. Case does not contain chemicals. Aiste BisonOffice

The packaging I received does have a Prop 65 warning saying it contains chemicals known to the state of CA to cause cancer and/or birth defects...I'm assuming that includes lead.

from stones website: "warning: the materials used as colored decoratives of this product contain lead, lead compounds, and/ or cadmium, which are known to the state of california to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm."

I'm not sure which chemicals are supposedly cancer-causing, but I would assume that you could say the same re: much of what's in the things we eat. I've been pleased with the product for GF baking thus far.

No where on the packaging does it indicate 'organic'. It does say California grown but that is about it.

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.

Probably owing to labeling laws about "contains substances known to the State of California cause blahblahblah" when the mere act of living in California is itself known to cause worse.

My guess is: California as of Dec 2010 has declared wood dust a cancer causing agent. When you sharpen a wood pencil it will create wood dust. Again my guess based on an article from California. From HPVA.Org. In December 2009, "wood dust" was added to California's Proposition 65 list of substances "known to the State of California to cause cancer."

No. If you think this presents a risk, then you are free to double check all things known to the State of California. Good luck.
