The Gilmore one does have a cancer warning on it. Does this one?

The Gilmore unit probably is made from brass with a bit of lead in it. I'm a very experienced mechanical engineer and I have a hard time seriously considering those cancer warnings because of leaded brass. In a world with real risks of injury, death & cancer ... a leaded brass device for use in the garden seems pretty inconsequential.

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

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.

Every one keeps saying that it stinks like rubber and chemicals and it never goes away. But I have them.. Yeah they smelt a little buts fine. It doesn't link to cancer at all. No worries

I agree that it does have Propylene Glycol in its ingredients because it is listed right on the bottle. I looked it up online and it is referred to by one source as a mild carcinogen which was news to me since I am a cancer survivor. I intend to do more research on this. S. Phipps

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...

Yes, it reads "Warning: Keep away from small children, the thin film may cling to nose and moutn and prevent breathing. Do not use in cribs, beds, carriages or playpens. This is not a toy." I noticed that on the bags from my dry cleaner, the warning is printed more often. These bags are long and the warning appears about 1-1/2 times on the bag and isn't as noticeable. I had to look for the warning versus it being more prominent on the bags that I get from the dry cleaner. It is printed in white, and is approximately the same size as the ones from the DC.

Because California likes to slap warnings on just about everything. This teether is made from food grade silicone which is not a carcinogen. I have no idea how it would have come by the warning, but I'm not terribly concerned about it. Sometimes it feels like EVERYTHING causes cancer, and silicone is nowhere near the top of the list of my concerns. But hey, way to take a feature used to gain information about a product and turn it into a BS sanctimommy judgement. Kudos. Edit: maybe a better question would be WHY does this product have a prop 65 warning attached. That's actually a useful product question, and I'd be interested in the answer. :-p

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!!!

No -- unless a person is giving this item to a child as a teething ring, or allowing day care kids free reign in their sewing room...or tend to bite their nails and have bad hygiene...I think these are warnings that are out there on just about everything to alleviate any and all law suits that MIGHT possibly happen whether they pertain to the product or something on the product or near the person who delivered something to the plant that the product was made in....it is all about protecting the corporate butt from those who do not take personal responsibility.

STRONGLY AGREE.Why do you think dogs and cats have 35 - 40x higher cancer rates than the scandalously high rate for humans?$1 reason is the cheap filler crap in dog food with pretty "all natural" labels and 99% do not read ingredient labels for themselves, and never for their pets.

I really think this is a typo... I looked it up, and found this: "WARNING: The power cord on this product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause [cancer, and] birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling." The above sentence comes from this website: http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/othercarcinogens/athome/cancer-warning-labels-based-on-californias-proposition-65 Given the similarity in the warnings, I think they meant to type "cord" instead of "code" which makes more sense. :) I had wondered about this myself. :)

Hello Jim, thank you for your question. When you have a history of cancer in your immediate family, it is always best to seek a medical professionals advice. I would strongly suggest that you contact your doctor for further assistance. Blessings to you
