Does this bag come with the notice that it is made with chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects, like the last leather bag I just bought?

I do not recall seeing such a notice, but would not be surprised if it did considering the nature of the process needed to make leather.

According to their website http://mckleinusa.com/index.php?main_page=faqs - they have been made at the same 'state of the art' facility for over 35 years in Thailand using full grain leather. I did not see any notice on your query. They say they use only the finest products and processes and I have no complaints, so I expect if you are not satisfied, will have to email them regards steve

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 got it for that reason, but its toxic. It STINKS! Soap couldn't get the smell off me and it had warnings that the materials cause cancer! Every time I breathed the stink or touched my face I was worried. It had a warning to wash your hands EVERY time you touched it. I threw it away after 1 week. The stink stayed on the steering wheel even though I scrubbed it. I could still smell it in my car and on my hands for weeks after throwing it away. Don't buy it! It's not worth it!!!!

It sounds like you have a problem, either with the particular bag having been exposed to something foul, or your idea of what fine leather should smell like. After living with mine for a couple of months now, I am happy with every aspect: Appearance, smell and product utility. Very well made, luxurious bag.

I'm not sure, but I'm definitely curious now! When I bought mine I don't recall there being any warnings so you've sparked my interest. According to various sites you have to contact the manufacturer directly to obtain the information, but I really liked the information found on the national cancer institutes website. Here's the link, http://m.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/othercarcinogens/athome/cancer-warning-labels-based-on-californias-proposition-65 Hope that helps a little!

Hi Zeroid, Darn, I did not keep the bag that they came in. I remember reading it on the package but do not have a clue what it said. It did not upset me...that is about all that I can tell you. John.

It comes with a bag...don't remember it being leather though, I never used it.

The bag does not state it's lead or PVC -free. So if I was to guess, I would assume these smelly plastic bugs "made in China " do have these harmful chemicals.

I got a bag with mine. I don't remember if it was in the description or not, they may be still just using the photo from when I bought it.

The label says made in India. "Responsibly produced, this bag does not contain lead, cadmium, or any other heavy metal in toxic amounts. "

Every one keeps saying that it stinks like rubber and chemicals and it never goes away. But I have them.. Yeah they smelt a little buts fine. It doesn't link to cancer at all. No worries

If it was organic it would have the USDA organic seal printed on the bag, but there's no mention of it being organic there.

i am sorry to say i no longer have this item as it has been thrown in the garbage. i read the back of the package and saw a warning which stated " this product contains chemicals known to the state of california to cause cancer and reproductive harm , wash hands after use." remember these are handlebar grips!!!!!!!!!

Mine doesn't have that warning labeled on it. From what I just googled that label is a California requiredment. I honestly am not familiar with much of the cancer causing ingredients in anything. I personally will look further into this subject. Good question. Good stuff.

It has the smell of new fabric used in making the bag. i would not refer to it as an "odor", such as you might encounter if the bag were made from rubber or neoprene. Go to Home Depot or Lowe's or Sears or Ace Hardware and unzip one & take a whiff. That would be much more reliable than the subjective answers you will get from a forum. Good luck!

The bags purchased from simplevecology have an organic label. Not sure if its certified.
