Is there a prop 65 warning on the bottle? If there is lead in it, then I won't be purchasing it because it's obviously a carcinogen.

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.

I checked the bottle and YES there is the Prop 65 warning, but said nothing about lead content.

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...

Proposition 65 requires the State to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. In other words. These gloves are manufactured with chemicals that the state of California considers cancerous or harmful. That's just what I got from researching it. Hope this helps

Even certified organic products can, and often do contain dangerous heavy metals like lead. See here: http://www.lowheavymetalsverified.org/ Or here: http://www.doctoroz.com/episode/whistleblower-who-found-poison-americas-food Or do a Google search for something like, "heavy metals in organic food" The problem is that heavy metal levels in food aren't regulated by either the FDA or the USDA. USDA organic certification doesn't include heavy metals certification or regulation. That isn't to say that non-organic products are any better. Also since a warning on the label is completely voluntary, I wouldn't equate the lack of a warning about lead to mean that it has any safer lead levels than products that contain a warning. On another Dr Oz clip which I cannot find on the internet, it was said that IN GENERAL, organic products grown in Canada and California are less likely to be contaminated with heavy metals than those that come from Asia. It's not about the organic certification being untrustworthy because the certification doesn't include heavy metal certification, it's more about how likely the land is to be contaminated with heavy metals in the first place. Land is contaminated through gasoline (the gasoline industry spread lead on most of the world's soil through leaded gasoline), batteries that everyone throws in the trash, paint that ends up dumped out or in trash, or painted surfaces leaching, etc. Heavy metals leach into the soil, then end up in water then migrate far and wide. That's why I think Canadian products are least likely to be contaminated. I reason that all that Canadian wilderness helps Canada in this regard. If there is a choice, I always buy Canadian Organic products now. Also they regulate heavy metals. Next choice, California, last choice Asia.

The package has the same lead warning as the powdered clay. I just checked my bottle of the Daily Detox. Hope this helps.

I checked and the manufacture stated it meets proposition 65, also state law in California where the Crock comes from states that they have to disclose if there is lead in the product, Since the product comes from Cal and they have to deal with several laws (federal & state) pertaining to lead your can feel safer knowing it's lead free. Also our 1st crock we have had over a year and works with no leaks, we purchased the 2nd one 6 mouths later, when the time comes and we need another we will purchase from "For Your Water" again. Hope this belays your fears some

There is no mention of lead or any other content on the product. There is no CA Prop 65 label...only one that says it was made in Mexico.

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.

I live in Michigan. I have taken the same for a long time. My bottles say nothing about lead. It is all herbs. I am surprised.

It is a great concern for everyone who has purchased this product .I stopped using this product two weeks ago for the same reason of uncertainty. Does anyone know if there is a "Mercury test kit " available to public so we can check the for the trace of mercury and Lead , if any, in the product ?

No, honestly I can't see why this is an issue. The handle comes with a warning label that explains that it contains materials that IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA are considered to POSSIBLY cause cancer. They do that because of the amount of people that sue in California thinking that random materials caused their cancer. I wouldn't worry about it. The label is only there to prevent getting sued.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
