Does this have a cancer warning label on the box? I brought a trampoline to find a warning label on the box that the materials used can cause cancer.

Sorry. I don't know. Threw away the box already. If you figure it out, let me know please.

However, i don't like that the back legs jump when the kids do. Makes me feel like it's going to tip over some day.

Almost everything is packaged for sale in California has that warning. The base chemicals used in coating the fabric contain substances that are carcinogens, although the actual amount present is usually only in trace amounts it is still required in some places to note with a label.

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.

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 have no proof that these rubber bands will cause cancer. I purchased them for my daughter and am now a little creeped out.

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.

As recently as 1 year ago, Muir Glen used a BPA-containing, white plastic inner lining for all of their canned tomato products. However, Muir Glen now uses a shiny metallic copper inner lining for all of their canned tomato products. When I emailed Muir Glen to tell them that "like iron, manganese, and aluminum, copper is a pro-oxidant that damages every cell in our bodies and causes cancer, heart disease, and a dozen other killer diseases," Muir Glen replied that their inner can lining is now vinyl plastic, which coats the copper metal. Therefore, there is no threat to our health from the copper metal. I then pointed out to Muir Glen that about 20% of vinyl plastic contains cancer-causing nitrosamines.

I really think this is a typo... I looked it up, and found this: "WARNING: The power cord on this product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause [cancer, and] birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling." The above sentence comes from this website: http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/othercarcinogens/athome/cancer-warning-labels-based-on-californias-proposition-65 Given the similarity in the warnings, I think they meant to type "cord" instead of "code" which makes more sense. :) I had wondered about this myself. :)

not at all clear to me why Amazon forwarded this question to me, I guess Amazon's software can't apprehend that I only once used the mat and it was contaminated with clearly toxic chemicals.No, Silpat never sent me a new one after arranging for me to send in the contaminated one.

I have encountered these warnings on other plastics, even my trampoline. I called the company on a couple of things, and they said by law CALIFORNIA must give this warning if there are plastic components. Is the warning from California? I don't think I would like the water (or condensation) coming in contact with a plastic lid, though. If the plastic is BPA free, it would be less of a concern. Mayo has this to say about BPA: http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-living/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/bpa/faq-20058331

I honestly can't remember the packaging. But, I would never buy this trampoline. It was very poor quality. I gave mine to the dump!

Probably not since it has some studies that show it can cause cancer. California has a warning on the label.

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.

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

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!

Yes, according to mayo clinic it does, however the package doesn't day it does specifically. The package states that it contained chemicals that can cause cancer and or other birth defects and harm
