Are these dishes CA Prop 65 Compliant?

From what I have been able to research the dishes (made in the US) are indeed compliant with CA Prop 65 but the mugs, made in China, are not.

Absolutely, they are. We use them as our everyday dishes, and even with 2 young children, we love them. We put them in the dishwasher every time we use them with no issues. We got our original, partial set 11 years ago and they still look new. We recently upgraded to this set to have a complete place setting. The only thing they don't hold up to is dropping. lol. Well worth the investment.

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

They are not "certified" in California or Iowa, they have an extra level of certification that Berkey has chosen not to pay for. We ship to CA all the time, so you can order them.Hope that helpsA Better Life Now

Prop 65 -is not a standard, Unlike FDA and does not set a limit or standard no matter how small- It is A WARNING for people that some metal exists in the product.

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

Doesn't everything? Can't imagine why...maybe pregnant women shouldn't eat it?? I'm looking at the package right now and there's no mention of CA Prop 65. The only warnings are, "may scratch some surfaces", "not for aquarium use", and interestingly enough, "due to the nature of this item, some rusting may occur" - hmmm.

That reply doesn't make sense at all! The warning has nothing to do with conforming to regulations -- it is about containing harmful chemicals....I'm guessing that rep has no clue what the prop 65 warning is.I submitted a question on their site too, so I will post again if I get a different response.Thanks for the reply!

The prop 65 warning is something that was put in place a long time ago. These stickers would be removed but it costs too much money to take the issue back to the legislation. They are placed on just about anything that comes from outside of CA. I wouldn't worry about it ; ) http://www.ksl.com/?sid=27711857 check this article out, it describes the process better.

Yes, I have put them in the bottom shelf and they were fine. Really like these dishes a lot. Color is good, size is good. Would buy them again.

Most items produced, shipped, or sold in or around California have the proposition 65 warming on them from fast-food restaurants to cars to shampoo. An important note is that the presence a Prop 65 warning does not necessarily indicate a product itself is specifically unsafe. Materials and compounds used in the manufacturing of Breville® products are considered proprietary and may not be disclosed. All Breville products are food safe and compliant with all applicable U.S. product safety regulations and requirements.

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

I am not familiar with Proposition 65 - Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 in California. I would treat this as a warning -- move on with using the product (which I love) because it is obviously very minimal impact due to the size of the stools. Check the rules on the proposition and decide for yourself is you should return them. I do not recall such a sticker on mine when I received them but maybe it applies to the state they are being shipped to.

Yes they are. Mine cracked after the first use and as a matter of fact some of the plates even came broken.

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.

Its sold in California. In California you must put a prop65 warning if your products contain 1 of over 2000 materials. The penalty for not putting the sign or label is huge. The penalty for needlessly labeling is nothing. Starbucks, whole foods and every darn store in California has prop 65 warnings all over. Google prop 65 for more info. The toothpaste is made from Redmond clay, a naturally occuring product, so while it may contain thousands of micro amounts of minerals, organic lead may fall in there. This lead threshold will be less than the water you use to wash your mouth out from your sink. All tap water has inorganic lead present from deterioration of supply lines.

I'm not sure. But when I had a problem with a couple of plates when I bought the set, I called the company. They were very accommodating. So I would suggest you give them a call and see.
