The bungee cords appear to be tagged with warnings per California Proposition 65. What materials/exposure methods may cause reproductive harm?

It's the general warning. No breakdown of material. You do know that EVERYTHING man made can cause reproductive harm - sitting on your couch, or walking on carpet alone, both which have flame retardants known to cause reproductive harm, are surely more dangerous then some rubber/polyester straps that when I use them come into contact with me for a few seconds, at most, to tighten luggage, or hold on to tripods on my backpack. In other words, unless you're actually putting these on your body for extended periods of time, you'll be fine. I'd worry about everything else in your house.

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.

On the tag it states 100% polyester and that it meets the flammable requirements of California law. I'm not sure if that answers your question but that's all I could find. Try contacting the manufacturer, I've heard that their customer service is easy to deal with.

No Idea!! But it's freaked me out. I ordered these (didn't see the CA Prop warning) and Luvable Friends Bibs. When I received my Order Summary I saw a note about how "one or more of my items was subject to the CA Prop 65 law". How crazy that BABY stuff would have this warning slapped to it. Maybe it's not that big of a deal seeing as CA is the only state with this "law", but I'm not taking any chances. Returning both items as soon as they arrive!

Prop. 65 is a CA State initiative. It does not necessarily mean it is harmful or carcinogenic. Call the manufacturer for more info. Here is an useful link on this Prop.: http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/p65faq.html

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 think that's only in CA, but this bag didn't come with any warnings. I can't imagine how it could be harmful, though.

This wrist rest isn't made of latex, but of some kind of synthetic rubber gel. The one I received did have a strong "new plastic" smell. I wasn't surprised to see a California Proposition 65 warning on it ("this product contains chemicals that cause birth defects, reproductive harm, cancer, etc.). I ended up returning mine.

Almost everything is packaged for sale in California has that warning. The base chemicals used in coating the fabric contain substances that are carcinogens, although the actual amount present is usually only in trace amounts it is still required in some places to note with a label.

I did a little research after reading your question as it was concerning. In a number of places I noticed other consumers suggesting that California is over doing it and giving everything a prop 65. Playdoh has been around for decades, I highly doubt that it's going to seriously harm any children.

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...

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 strong/bad smell was present. I am not sure if there was a CA prop 65 warning.

Sorry so late, but I think it is some chemical that is either used in making the parts of the bow or that it comes in contact with through the course of its production. Maybe related to prop 65 in CA which has an extensive list of chemicals. Can not be for sure but that is the only thing I could figure other than the part in question glowing in the dark.

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!!!

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.

I was looking for the same thing. Decided to use a tarp and bungee cords. Hope this helps
