Should I be concerned about the label that came with them that says may contain cancer causing chemicals and other reproductive issues?

That's probably based on California's Prop 65 act which requires labeling for 600 plus elements that they have on their carcinogen list. If you use these in the manner in which they are supposed to be used, I cannot imagine why they would be a carcinogen. http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65/prop65_list/Newlist.htmlThis is a crazy b.s. California law designed to generate significant revenue for the state, because they're bankrupt. They can add items to the list anytime they want, and companies have to keep a full-time compliance director on staff to make sure they're not fined.Anyway, I think you'll be fine, but who knows?

I don't recall seeing the label with that information. However, you could contact the company where you purchased it & get the contact information of the company that made them, contact them & ask what chemicals are in it; then you can make an informed decision as to where you want to use them. That is a concerning statement, thank you for sharing it.

I would say no. There is no recycle symbol on the label and the residue of the contents which are flammable would have to be washed out. There is also a caution about not comming in contact with the skin. My skin is sensative, but I have never had an issue with it.

I was worrying the same thing. So went to there website. The Gas chromatographic (very detailed) and MSDS information it link to the product listing. http://www.planttherapy.com/pdf/oreganogcms.pdf

I am not sure about that, however with their statement "Our food products are NOT Irradiated", I would think that they were not treated with harmful pesticides.

Can't find info on label, but if it's a concern to you, I would suggest you call the manufacturer.

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.

Google the chemical itself and it's pretty much in a lot of cosmetic products. So far there's no risk according to skindeep.

You probably could, however FDA material is produced under certain conditions allowable for Human consumption. Do you really want to take the risk of using something not produced under those guidelines? Do you have children? Is it worth the few Dollars to put them at risk?

Sorry we don't know about any made by another company and we are not aware of it having cancer causing chemicals.

from stones website: "warning: the materials used as colored decoratives of this product contain lead, lead compounds, and/ or cadmium, which are known to the state of california to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm."

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.

The label has california prop 65 warning.. Says there is lead in this product. -- I just looked at the pictures here on amazon.

I have no idea. I am buying another brand next time that does not have warning labels such as that one.

Does anyone else see the irony here? 5% of the sales from these gloves will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation yet they are treated with Prop 65 which causes cancer! Seriously?!! I wanted to buy these gloves, but now I absolutely will not. My small statement. Get rid of the chemicals in our world!!!

Some of mattel's products come with or without the Prop 95 warning which states the product may have toxic chemicals in it. It was not labeled on the page like some other mattel products on Amazon. Best would be to email the company for an answer which they have to provide you with. But then again, its coming from China so who the hell knows if that is even the truth. If you are concerned about this or other items there is a lead testing kit that easily detects the presence of lead on clothes or toys.

I honestly don't even know why you would mind if it contained melamine. It's been used as a plastic resin for decades w/o any problems at all. The only instances where you'd be concerned, if it was actively being used as a protein adulterant in human or animal food. Making plates, dishes, tableware, dry erase boards and zillions of other different products that are completely inedible isn't a threat, or concern, to human health at all.

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