Why does this product have the proposition 65 warning? Specifically what materials in what part of the product resulted in this warning?

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.

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.

It's made of PVC Rubber. California has Prop 65 on almost everything. When you walk into Starbucks establishment, it will have prop 65 warning. Also, when you pump gas, it has prop 65. It's really strict in California to the point where it scares consumers.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ugh! I didn't even notice that. This is what I found: "Proposition 65 requires businesses to notify Californians about significant amounts of chemicals in the products they purchase, in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment. By providing this information, Proposition 65 enables Californians to make informed decisions about protecting themselves from exposure to these chemicals. Proposition 65 also prohibits California businesses from knowingly discharging significant amounts of listed chemicals into sources of drinking water." http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/background/p65plain.html I don't have to worry about it as the hose snapped off the base about a month ago. I'd take a pass on this one, if I were you. It's all plastic.

Amazon did something wrong which I never understand, it keeps changing the 3rd party vendor for same product. My order was purchasing from vendor "Sold by On The House and Fulfilled by Amazon". At this moment I see the same product is changed to "Sold by LOWCOSTFASTSHIPPING and Fulfilled by Amazon". I cannot comment this vendor of "LOWCOSTFASTSHIPPING". For the stuff I bought from "On The House and Fulfilled by Amazon", I have no idea of "US CPSIA and California Proposition 65 toy safety standards", but the product is 100% junk, it's not same as the regular rubber bands at all. It's some kind of debris cut from some plastic tube.

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.

First of all I don't live in California. Second, why don't you actually read the warning? It's just a warning the company has to provide for legal reasons. This item isn't made from lumber, glass or cement. HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL!

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

I'm sorry, but as I do not live in California, I have no idea why the CA Prop 65 warning is attached. I don't even know what it is.

Not to my knowledge. I haven't had any issues with it. Not sure what the Prop 65 warning is since I am located in DC.

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.
