Since it comes with the prop 65 label warning is it safe to buy this product for kids? What would you recommend to me? I want to buy but I'm scared.

Yes, I would recommend this product. My daughter has had it since the age of 3 years old and carried it as a backpack. She's 5 now and still carries it. It is great storage for up to 6 or 8 games (can't remember right off), the reader, and I am still able to store batteries and/or the car charger as well. Made from very good material and it has held up well for the 2 years that we've had it.

Hello JeffMake sure it is out of reach of the kids because it may look like candy to the kids but it is dangerous. Tide starting making the top child proof just for that reason. They are colorful and wrapped in plastic like candy so be very careful around the kids.

Wow - I didn't read that article. I used the product almost every day for a while. I hope that's not true. I will try to find out more information. Thanks for the warning.

My personal opinion is that a lot of these items are sold from other countries and they don't have any regulations as far as warnings for young children. It's all about the money and getting your business. I think that Amazon should use their discretion and put their own warnings on these items in case there is a lawsuit, since these (Asian mostly) countries don't care what happens to our American children.

Why don't you girls contact the Amazon customer service line and see if they can tell you anything about this. It looks like a beautiful crib, but if it has that Prop 65 warning then it might be better to make sure before buying it. I tried calling a few numbers but I live in Germany and was not able to get through to someone, perhaps it is the time difference. If you get any answers please post them I would like to know, thanks!

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

No Idea!! But it's freaked me out. I ordered these (didn't see the CA Prop warning) and Luvable Friends Bibs. When I received my Order Summary I saw a note about how "one or more of my items was subject to the CA Prop 65 law". How crazy that BABY stuff would have this warning slapped to it. Maybe it's not that big of a deal seeing as CA is the only state with this "law", but I'm not taking any chances. Returning both items as soon as they arrive!

I cancelled my order after reading the Prop 65 warning and today I just saw this update. Thanks for the update. If Amazon is in error they should go ahead and remove the warning. Its confusing the customers.

Where did you get the info that it's recommended for children anywhere? And unless these children live in the boonies with no internet, tv, radio they know about drugs. Nobody says you need to buy this for a child. There are millions of other items to buy a kid. Just you asking this question is questionable!

Mine is a question too: product description states the product shouldn't be used around home/pets/ children, I see it's ultraviolet light sourced, would the ultraviolet be the danger source enough to discourage use on a back porch where flies continuously buzz 9 months a year??

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

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

Yes, this is safe for kids and they really like it. I like it because it do not need any batteries and electric circuits. Its pure mechanical in operation, spring based. I really have bad experience with battery base toys. I will absolutely recommend it for kids of 6+ age.

I just bought a golds gym trampoline from walmart and assembled it before reading the instructions and saw that scary warning label. I wish I had seen it before purchase. Why would they even use a cancer causing chemical. My kid say's it's probably only dangerous if you eat it, but what about asbestos? Ye

I did a little research after reading your question as it was concerning. In a number of places I noticed other consumers suggesting that California is over doing it and giving everything a prop 65. Playdoh has been around for decades, I highly doubt that it's going to seriously harm any children.

Considering that Baby Einstein has already had a toy recalled for toxic levels of lead (blue block in their Discover & Play Color Blocks), even if they aren't listing the toxins in their toys directly, they are a suspect company. One boy was suspected of being poisoned by these blocks when no other lead-containing items were found in the house. Besides, lead, PVC, and BPA (which you probably get more from in canned foods anyway) aren't the only toxins in toys and other household objects. Many have toxic levels of antimony, bromine, barium (Melissa & Doug has had two recalls in Canada for this), cadmium, arsenic and mercury. I mostly deny my kids the pleasure of putting any toys in their mouths excessively, but if you want to feel a bit safer about toys, try plugging individual toys/companies into HealthyToys.org or www.goodguide.com. You'll get a better feel for who has repeat offenses. I wouldn't trust anything a manufacturer tells you anyway. They have no intention of pulling dangerous toys or disclosing information unless they're forced to by law. Saying that, we own this toy, as it was gifted before we knew what we know now. The kids love to dance to it. I consider it hazardous for the kids to put in their mouths. I imagine it's not doing a lot of damage just being held. And it does play pleasing music :)
