What are these made of (what metals, etc. and why the CA prop 65)?
639304
I think the CA prop has to do with the vinyl case they come in. That case also says the tools are stainless steel.So far no complaints on them
639305
Seem to be made of steel. Nice and hefty. But, I have no idea what CA prop 65 refers to.
639306
I actually don't know what additional materials they are made out of. My guess is that "stainless steel" is an industry term to indicate a percentage, and that there are other impurities that go into it too, and it seems that the manufacturer has chosen to use cheaper materials? Just a ballpark guess. Was far from impressed. Here's the warning: "Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 25249.6, the Distribution of this Product Warns you That this Product May Contain Substances known to the State of California to Cause Cancer and/or Reproductive Toxicity"

The holding case says stainless steel. I believe it. Not sure about the CA prop 65. Then again, California is a whole diff planet. Hope this helps.

It is NOT lead free. In product details you can read: Proposition 65 warning!

I don't know what they are made of but I can tell you that they are garbage and they don't come pre-installed... which is actually a good thing because you'll want to get brand name faucets anyway, so at least you won't have to dismantle them. Simply take them and put directly in the trash. Vanity is nice though, my customer paid $2000. Hope that helps

They ARE made in china, but instead of the usual garbage these are 7075 aluminum, Mil-Spec hard anodized. 1500 rds of 223 through the barrel with these on my platform and some abuse and I've yet to have an issue. Have yet to see a difference in performance between this and some of the more expensive alternatives.

I emailed NutriCology and they sent me the information on CA Prop 65. This was very helpful in understanding about the naturally occuring lead and other metals. Feel Free to Contact them.

They are made of metal, not sure which metal. They are also coated in a non-stick coating.

Per Godinger.com, the crystal on their site has a Prop 65 warning for lead. Contacted them and they state this particular item is LEAD FREE.

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.

Some states require Prop 65 warnings on basically everything. I'm assuming this company is based in CA, since that's where these warnings are most prevalent. You might notice it on buildings, too. This isn't condemnation of the product - it's a fact of life in CA.

They are made of metal. I have ordered more than 50 of them for my office and they have served our needs well.

Doesn't everything? Can't imagine why...maybe pregnant women shouldn't eat it?? I'm looking at the package right now and there's no mention of CA Prop 65. The only warnings are, "may scratch some surfaces", "not for aquarium use", and interestingly enough, "due to the nature of this item, some rusting may occur" - hmmm.

I believe they are milled from solid aluminum. They work great, and are holding up very well.

All nutritional supplements in California contain this warning due to Prop 65. I would not worry about it, because ALL supplements say this.

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

http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&nodeId;=3234041This explains Prop 65 in detail. In reply to your question however, it can be both the electrical components AND the salt itself that could lead to that warning label. Some places where the salt is mined are exposed to many environmental challenges (mercury, lead, plastic & petroleum toxins, chemicals, etc.) and since we dont know exactly which salt mine/deposit it came from, we cant know for sure. They originate from the Himalayas(in Pakistan) Im sure theyve tested this however, keep in mind however that whatever elements are causing the warning , are within a relatively safe level and the label is just there per California state law to inform you. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&nodeId;=3234041This explains Prop 65 in detail.

just went through the manual and didn't find any reference to a Prop 65 warning

I'm very sorry, but can you be a bit more specific about that to which you are referring? What material is *what* made of? The query wasn't very clear when it arrived in my inbox. Thank you. :)
