CA Prop 65 Warning? Can someone who has bought this crib confirm whether or not there is an actual warning on the package itself?

the crib I just got was made jan 11 and the packaging states that is CA phase 2 compliant.

Some states require Prop 65 warnings on basically everything. I'm assuming this company is based in CA, since that's where these warnings are most prevalent. You might notice it on buildings, too. This isn't condemnation of the product - it's a fact of life in CA.

just went through the manual and didn't find any reference to a Prop 65 warning

http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/p65faq.html says the manufacturer puts the warning on the product. Where did you see the warning?

It says it is. Given that it is illegal for retailers to continue to sell items like cribs that no longer meet federal safety standards, I feel that the claims are accurate.

No... The sofa also has a prop 65 warning because it uses formaldehyde glue... I'm preparing to toss the sofa for that reason.

Keith Kreider, I will have to contact the manufacturer to know for sure, however, I suspect it is because there is a California Proposition 65 Warning on the system. Customer Service TheBetterBuy

I have never heard of a Proposition 65 warning before. I have looked it up online and I now know what it is. I was not aware Amazon had a Proposition 65 warning on this product. However, for more product information visit www.nowfoods.com/2810.

There is no warning on the product itself. And I don't recall seeing a warning on the package.

We've used this in my daughters crib now for almost a year and haven't had an issue. But if it ever happened to me, I'd contact the manufacture. Most of the time, that seems to do the trick when it comes to that kind of stuff. Hope that helps.

I've heard nothing of the sort. That doesn't mean anything, though, since California has too many stringent rules and I can't keep up with all of them. I've use this product for several years without issue, but that's just me. I think it's worth trying, but you'll have to use your best judgment. What is the chemical that you're concerned about?

Be careful buying this crib. We bought it for our granddaughter last year and it was junk. My husband had to do A LOT of repairs on it before we could put baby in it. Was cheaper than sending it back. READ ALL REVIEWS before buying it. I would have NEVER bought it had I known it was put together so cheap.

Just checked with the company....the product hasn't had the Prop 65 warning on it for over a year. The warning was due to one of the chemicals in the fire retardant that they were required to add, but since that requirement was lifted, they no longer use the fire retardant and therefore have removed the Prop 65 warning.

After writing this feedback I contacted the person who has the distribution in Latin America, and this was her reply. I hope it helps.. Thanks for reaching out to us and sorry for the concern our box warning may have caused. I'm not sure if you have ever heard of prop 65, but here is a blog post that explains it in a little more detail: http://www.redmondclay.com/prop65/. Although there is a varying amount of natural lead many of the foods we eat, and we probably would not even need to have it on a toothpaste, we decided to error on the side of caution and put the label on the box. This is why some of the boxes contain the prop 65 warning and some others don't - yet. We plan to put it on all of them to avoid potential costly prop 65 lawsuits. As you will see in the ingredient list Redmond Clay is the base product for Earthpaste and this type of clay has a lot of elements and minerals in it in varying amounts. Here is an elemental analysis of the clay so you can see everything it has: http://www.redmondtrading.com/pdfs/RedmondClay_MineralAnalysis.pdf. Most clay experts agree that the "harmful" metals in clay are not bioavailable or absorbable by the body because of the way they are attached to the clay, but we can appreciate your concern. Knowing the properties of clay many peopletake clay as a daily supplement and many books have been written on the properties of this type of clay even with the elemental profile of the clay. Here is another link that talks about the aluminum in clay and contains other links on the subject. http://www.redmondclay.com/2012/what-about-the-aluminum-in-redmond-clay/.

The warning is still on Amazon. Scroll down the page to Product Details. I've looked at it on the Target website and there is no warning, so yes, it is very confusing. :(

I purchased this for a friend of mines and had it sent to her. I do not know any specifics on the crib except that they were very happy with the product.

Presumably you purchased a California-bound product. Prop 65 is a unique California statute that requires warning for trace amounts of various chemicals. Some of these are naturally-occurring. For details, I would suggest going to the product website - at this link http://www.genesispureteampritchard.com/uploads/2/4/9/1/24915939/faq.pdf and scrolling down to their explanation on Prop 65. I have no independent knowledge about this product, but I presume this is the issue.
