Does this tank have the California Warning label saying it contains carcinogens?

Yes, it does. Not sure what part of the tank has lead in it, but there is a distinct warning. Debating sending mine back due to this not being stated in the product description.

You can only go by what the manufacturer says and that is that all parts that come in contact with water are BPA free. The customer that claims the California prop issue needs to do some more research about what that means. There isn't a single water distribution system on the market that isn't flagged by that proposition so every drop of water you use has already passed through piping prop 65 deems questionable.

I've heard nothing of the sort. That doesn't mean anything, though, since California has too many stringent rules and I can't keep up with all of them. I've use this product for several years without issue, but that's just me. I think it's worth trying, but you'll have to use your best judgment. What is the chemical that you're concerned about?

I'm not sure, but I'm definitely curious now! When I bought mine I don't recall there being any warnings so you've sparked my interest. According to various sites you have to contact the manufacturer directly to obtain the information, but I really liked the information found on the national cancer institutes website. Here's the link, http://m.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/othercarcinogens/athome/cancer-warning-labels-based-on-californias-proposition-65 Hope that helps a little!

I'm not sure but there is a warning on the box that says not to drink from it because it contains chemicals known to cause cancer.

Your tank is bad, do not buy anything but Amtrol RO tanks, they are made in the USA, trust me I bought a China one and you could taste the chemicals from the rubber bladder inside

The newer Verismo model which is the Verismo 600 has a water tank that is BPA free. I found this information on BB&B;'s website. Like Bruce said, the actual container itself has no markings, I'm assuming, it's because they don't want to ruin the sleek design of the machine.

Whoa, I hope not. I just inspected mine and I don't see any warning labels. However, my container is from last Ocrober and doesn't look like the one in the pic.

No, but if you go to Ancient Minerals website, you can find out what exactly is in the formula. Its minerals, so no carcinogens should be included in any form. The product is GREAT!

Lorraine, I would say yes. I cant find anywhere that it has any copper or bio-side added but i did find the attached link. Hope this helps.http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/aquarium/msg0213001912569.html?11

Yes, this product does have a warning label. I just received my 1lb maca Powder and saw a warning label on it. I read what Healthworks wrote about Cal Prop 65. We already consume so much lead throughout our daily intakes, so "0.5 mcg/day" using this particular Maca powder adds up to a toxic level. I will return this product. I purchased this before Healthworks post their answer. Since others answered that they did not see a warning label, I purchased it. I should have closely read the small print on the image.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
