The pad has a warning that it contains chemicals known to California to cause cancer and birth defects. Any further information?

Many electrical devices have such a warning if the device is made with lead or other heavy metals, even though it's only trace amounts as would be used in brass alloy or lead solder on electrical connections. No risk to the consumer.

VIRTUALLY ALL products have THAT SAME WARNING. California is full of attorneys who love to sue companies and that warning is put on virtually all products sold in california. Some companies actually refuse to sell in CA because of their tort laws.

Sorry, I am unqualified to respond to this question as it pertains to this heating pad. Nonetheless, I will comment that California has among the most strict of consumer warnings. California requires this type of disclosure on most water bottles and household plumbing (PVC) pipes. You might be inhaling more carcinogens when you fill up your gas tank than you'll encounter with the heating pad. (Gas pumps carry such disclosures too) My best guess is that petroleum products go into ALL plastics, many textiles and electrical components so the manufacturer is in compliance with all state laws by making this discolusre. Best to check with the manufacturer, Battle Creek Equipment if you still have concerns. As for me, I just wanted (and obtained) relief from pain with frequent heat applications and for me at least, it's better than taking painkillers which have all sorts of other side effects (and disclosures, too!). Thank goodness, we have choices!

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.

Dint buy this kettle. I bought it after much research looking for a bps free and not made in china product and was excited to get this however when we received it- upon opening the box there is a message on the box that says the product has been deemed unsafe by California proposition 65. Upon further research I found that proposition 65 'Proposition 65 regulates substances officially listed by California as causing cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm in two ways'. So FORGET BUYING THIS- god knows what is in the plastic or anything!!! An very disappointed and back to hunting again. Ugh Dint buy this kettle.

It dint say anything about what kind of chlorella it is, but Im worry because they put a paper in the bottle that say "this product contains a chemical known to the state of california to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm" thats strange because it didnt have any chemical in the label.

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.

They are washed in a petroleum-based solution. I just called the company to find out why. Also, there is a Prop 65 warning label on the product that it may cause cancer. Read up on prop 65 in California!

http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/p65faq.html says the manufacturer puts the warning on the product. Where did you see the warning?

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

I don't remember. The pad has never gone bad. In the past we had to replace the control units--just one, it must have been defective. I have had it a long time

The problem here is that Amazon did not describe what pad you are talking about. PLease define so I can properly answer your question.

In California, according to Proposition 65, anything that contains ANY substances known as a possible carcinogen must be labelled. That includes all kinds of compounds, including anything with lead in them. Basically, nearly every new piece of electronics, new cars, really just about everything gets the label slapped on to it. A well intentioned law and a bit alarming regarding the prevalence of carcinogens, but it is extremely common for products to have that label and doesn't really have much meaning.

Don't know. threw mine out due to warnings about a chemical in this product that can cause cancer.

I have no idea what the ingredient is, but apparently it only causes cancer in California, or so the "warning label" says.

Moleskines are now made in China, paper feels cheap and it carries at Prop 65 warning label for carcinogenic chemical. Ugh

This is a dangerous and terrible mat filled with chemicals. Read the other reviews. Do not let your child or any family member near this mat. There are plenty other safe and reliable mats out there. I received mine, followed the directions to wash and soak for 24 hours and the mat emitted such a gaseous odor that it made my eyes water and my house full of odor. I didn't even return it, it went right into the dumpster.

Protip: Everything is known to the state of California to potentially cause cancer and birth defects. Every. Single. Thing. So, to answer your question: Yes. California thinks that this tent will give you cancer.

I just bought a golds gym trampoline from walmart and assembled it before reading the instructions and saw that scary warning label. I wish I had seen it before purchase. Why would they even use a cancer causing chemical. My kid say's it's probably only dangerous if you eat it, but what about asbestos? Ye
