Can someone explain why the box states that the item has a "Cancer Warning"?

Same reason my building lobby warns all who enter that the building contains cancer causing substances: because we are an overly-litigious society of damned fools. At least in California. Just the same, I don't recommending eating or otherwise ingesting this product.

lol! I was concerned about the same thing. It's packaged discreetly. :) Plain brown box.

Hi, I have no idea. There might be a date on the box but the numbers on the bottom of the container don't seem to be dates. I've never had a problem but it's a good question. You probably should ask Clarins directly. Sadie

My box states "not for sale in retail outlets". I assume that it means "not for retail sales".

I don't have the box anymore, but the bottle doesn't have a cancer warning. The ingredients are: "Butyl Acetate, MEK, Cellulose Acetate, Isopropyl Alcohol, Phthalic Anhydride/Trimellitic Anhydride/Glycols Copolymer, Nitrocellulose, Triethyl Citrate, Hydroxypropyl Methacrylate, Hydroxycyclohexyl Phenyl Ketone, Violet 2 (CI 60725)"

The CA Prop 65 warning indicates a product contains compounds that could cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. I typically avoid anything that has that label associated with it. Before this product ever had this label, however, we purchased it for our children. I suspect that the plastic pieces, the magnets sandwiched between the plastic pieces, or even the glossy coating on the pattern cards are things that contain "less than desirable chemicals". Now for my most humblest of opinions...practically every toy for sale on amazon and in local stores probably qualify for that label. Whether it contains lead, or BPA, bromide, chloride, etc. Just because a toy doesn't have that warning doesn't mean it doesn't qualify. I looked everywhere on the packaging for this toy for the CA prop 65 warning and didn't find it. Unfortunately, one never truly knows what yucky chemicals are hiding in children's toys. If you want a truly non-toxic toy, you need to stick with unfinished wooden toys. Hopefully change is on the horizon for toy manufacturers.

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.

On a box I recently purchased it lists an expiration date (under the lid) of 10/14

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. :)

I am glad you are questioning this product it did not tast very good first of all then I saw there was carrageenan in it!!! The things healthy people have to understand is how bad carrageenan is (cancer causing) and the manufacturers of "organic foods put this horrible thing in yogurts soy milk, almond milk...I can go on and on anyway I pitched the rest of the box when I thoroughly read the ingredients. Be aware of things like this!

It could be a couple of things. Look at how many servings you are getting. A single box as box has 9. Are you looking at multiple boxes? Also, I have noticed that some sellers will post astronomical prices for items. I have no idea why or if they are really serious about selling an items.

I scrolled down to the product description. It says, "Condition Stickers Included are...." The medical condition was listed. I agree Amazon needs to list the medical conditions right next to the picture.

It means that it does not come in the fancy retail clear plastic case targeted for retail shelves. It's still new, and comes with all the same components. It comes in a box without fancy printing, just not a "collector's case" that you'd probably throw away shortly after you get it.

look up prop 65 and it will tell you that there is a list of chemicals that have been known to cause birth deffects and cancer it does not just pertain to lead it is a very long list this is probably why the warning is there not just lead is being warned

Also, the "NOT FOR RESALE" notice on the top of the box that I received says, "May not be billed to Medicare, Medicaid, or any other third-party insurance. Not eligible for Bayer's mail-in rebate/trade in offer." and looking at the item number on the box, I got the one that says "9556C" not the 7151G that is pictured.

I don't know why I was sent this question. I am not the seller. I bought the same item couple of months ago. I m not even sure if I have the box anymore. Hope this was helpful.
