Is this tent made of materials which make it fall under the CA Prop 65 warning for potential cancer and birth defect risks?

I do not have the answer to the question. However, I would think, with minimal exposure, you probably do not have anything to worry about.

I Do not know however I will now check for what this all means. I guess I trust to many people.

Great question. I typically look for tags or other labels on materials such as this (where children may go) and I did not find one. I am pretty sure that if this did fall under the CA category then it would have to be labeled as such- but I would research this further if I was you. Even though I did not find a tag or label stating this warning, I will be researching this further for my own peace of mind. Thank you for bringing this up!

Protip: Everything is known to the state of California to potentially cause cancer and birth defects. Every. Single. Thing. So, to answer your question: Yes. California thinks that this tent will give you cancer.

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.

All the information I've been able to find on Proposition 65 is pretty vague. It it supposed to warn consumers of "chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm"As far as I can tell, there is no thought given to the amount of these chemicals - some of which you can't escape in the manufacturing process. More info can be found here: http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/p65faq.html Although the most helpful line from the faq seems to be: "To request more information regarding the chemical exposures that are the basis of the warning, contact the manufacturer of the product."If I had to guess what chemical warranted the proposition 65 warning, I would guess cadmium.

I believe it has to do with trace amounts of lead in items grown in soil, which is practically unavoidable. Google Prop 65 and try calling Vibrant Health for clarification. You probably got a container meant for California.

To quote the tag: Cover Materials (Product of China) 100% cotton; Eco Foam (Product of USA) High quality PLANT BASED foam made with VPF technology. No toxic off-gassing chemicals. So, yes and no.

No, this tent does not have any added chemicals used in retardants. It is flame resistant.

The answer to your question is on Pacific Play Tents website. Setting aside the flame retardant issue, this is a quality product and we are really happy that it has a floor and with the ease it puts together.

It does not have the California warning about carcinogenic components, and believe me I looked closely. It is made of rubber in the USA. That is why I bought it, since I intend to be watering garden vegetables and herbs with it. I think Natalie Jane was referring to the comment about bacteria possibly growing in it. Just run the water for a few seconds to completely flush out the hose and you will have no problem. I looked for a long time to find a hose like this, so I believe that it is safe. Now the birds won't avoid my birdbath anymore...

It has a California Proposition 65 Warning: "This product contains chemicals known to cause birth defects or reproductive harm".

Hi, I believe it is made of a lightweight vinyl/plastic with plastic mesh for ventilation. There is a removable soft bottom piece.

Yes, it does. On the tag, it states: "California Proposition 65: the brass in this product contains lead. Warning: this product contains one or more chemicals know to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

No Idea!! But it's freaked me out. I ordered these (didn't see the CA Prop warning) and Luvable Friends Bibs. When I received my Order Summary I saw a note about how "one or more of my items was subject to the CA Prop 65 law". How crazy that BABY stuff would have this warning slapped to it. Maybe it's not that big of a deal seeing as CA is the only state with this "law", but I'm not taking any chances. Returning both items as soon as they arrive!

Almost everything is packaged for sale in California has that warning. The base chemicals used in coating the fabric contain substances that are carcinogens, although the actual amount present is usually only in trace amounts it is still required in some places to note with a label.

I'd be more concerned about the asbestos in the rock ;-) Yes, asbestos occurs naturally. However only over long exposures and inhaling particulants of asbestos is harmful. A bit of dust now and then isn't IIRC. Just more stupid California Prop 65 paranoia that we don't need in labels.

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.

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
