It looks like a Prop 65 label... thanks to California. Just about every tool made has this somewhere on it... not sure why it's listed as a "feature" though (maybe just a warning to avoid any issues?).

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

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.

look up prop 65 and it will tell you that there is a list of chemicals that have been known to cause birth deffects and cancer it does not just pertain to lead it is a very long list this is probably why the warning is there not just lead is being warned

Okay, so I've seen posts where everyone is saying Californians are way too crazy about everything causing cancer. It just sucks when your buying something for your health and you feel good about it, then you open it up and it says it just might give you cancer. lol - not funny good.

Because the state of CA requires them to put it there if it can be distributed into CA. May be lead or any number of other things that the product could have in it or may not have in it.... Read here: http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65/background/p65plain.html

It contains the TOXIN - Sodium Benzoate - a proven carcinogen that not only causes cancer but also kills the healthy cells in the body - damages the natural abilities of the immune system and more - just Google the side effects of it! You are killing your pet if you use this slime and hurting yourself as well if you rub it into their skin with your bare hands!

Well, I didn't see the warning label, but I do know that California has some weird laws that you need to follow in order to sell some things there. They have a list of chemicals that can cause harm (they do not note that there are safe levels of some of these chemicals, like lead for example) and if you have product that has any trace amounts on that list, the mfr has to put a warning somewhere. It is only California that has this legislation. Even the FDA has a 'safe" amount level for the chemicals. I know some companies only put the warning on California invoices in order not to scare everyone.

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.

CA has a list of chemicals that must be stated in any product; there are 600 +/-. Possibly something in the stain or paint.

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"

I cannot find any tag/label which indicates that it contains cancer causing chemicals. That is not to say there aren't any proven cancer toxins since companies are not required to indicate that fact unless it is sold in California. Wish I could be of more help. I am concerned about toxicity in products too.

Yes. The product came with a tiny slip of paper that said the state of California must disclose that the product was made with a chemical that has been proven to cause cancer and reproductive harm

State law requires this silly label on everything that has even trace amounts of any harmful chemical, even if there is no chance of it leaching out and the only way it can get into you is eating the product. Since said product can be any random device, electronics gizmo, whatever they have only served to trivialize warnings and cause valid ones to be ignored. Rest assured however that somewhere a flaming liberal can now sleep better at night now that he's screwed it up for everyone else but thinks he made a difference in the world.
