I just live chatted with Kitchen Aid and they said that the ceramic pot has tested lead and cadmium "free" and that the product does *not* require a california prop 65 warning. I think that's as close as one can get to being certain that it's lead free before purchasing and testing yourself.

Proposition 65 was passed in California in 1986 and requires the State to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The list includes over 800 chemicals and compounds, including some which occur naturally in the environment and some common substances that are beneficial when used in appropriate doses. In order to comply with California Proposition 65, we print a warning on every invoice being shipped into the state of California. Some of the substances on the Proposition 65 list occur naturally in both the environment and the human body and also exist naturally in many of the foods we eat. Therefore, it can be expected that trace levels of the same chemicals would be detectible in virtually all herbal and natural dietary supplement products. If you would like further information on Proposition 65 please contact The Food and Drug Administration or The Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Outreach and Information Center, maintains a consumer information hotline at the following number: Toll-Free Information Line: (888) 723-3366.

If you plan to ingest it, you're required to sign a waiver supplied by "Estwing"....and the waiver will include the Calif Prop 65 warning.

There is no lead in this product. Any prop 65 warnings you see are because the state in which the product is made has laws concerning notices about lead. You might notice it on buildings in states like CA, as well. The product is lead-free. The state is over-zealous on labeling.

You may wish to do further research by going to their website: www.yerbaprima.com You may also direct questions of this nature to their email: yerba@yerbaprima.com This is all the info I have at this time. Since I live on the East Coast, I am not aware of the Cali Prop 65 that you mention.

Every place and everything in California says "The product (or this establishment) contains (uses) chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm." Read most of the signs in restaurants you eat in and hair salons you frequent.

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

Yes, the warning is on the tag. It says: "The product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling." I guess I'll be returning mine...

I never used it! I returned after the packing slip stated that according to proposition 65, they had to tell me this product will give me cancer and this notice only goes to CA residents in the USA

I am a physician with some publc/industrial health experience and I am aware of no serious studies linking casual contact with these various petrochemicals with any health risk whatsoever. You are just about as likely to get cancer from the naturally produced aflatoxins in your peanut butter. Life is hazardous in itself, always leading to death and I think I can live with this level of sdditional risk. I would add that the warning label may refer to various paint /finish components which could include aromatic hydrogrbon residues and heavy metal (mercurial) hardening/curing accellerants. These finishes may contain cadmium or lead pigments, etc. I wonder why decks aren't required to have warning labels about the real threat of arsenic exposure they pose?

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

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.

I think that's only in CA, but this bag didn't come with any warnings. I can't imagine how it could be harmful, though.

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.

Hi Anthony, The bottle I have doesn't have the prop 65 warning on it. I e-mailed the company that makes sonne's #7 to get you the correct answer to this question. I will have the answer to you tomorrow since their company is closed today. Thank you, Sandy
