why is there a prop 65 warning on FOOD prep gloves?
1645820
I purchased these gloves for a Vacation Bible School project at church and not really for food handling. Because of this we didn't really look at any warnings on the label. Knowing what the warning is, I would imagine that they are saying there is some component of the gloves that does not meet CA standards. I see this commonly on other items. The remaining gloves are at church. I would be happy to look closer at the label on sunday if you are not in a rush for an answer.

before I answer your question I'll just say don't even get those gloves is Bionic in name only if you sweat it's going to turn blue and they're no good. and to answer your question they are approved by USDA is just a crappy glove

Any news or clarification on the Prop 65 warning? How can it be clarified if the manufacturer doesn't know why the warning has been marked on their product? I want to purchase this machine, but hesitate until this issue is cleared up.

Presumably you purchased a California-bound product. Prop 65 is a unique California statute that requires warning for trace amounts of various chemicals. Some of these are naturally-occurring. For details, I would suggest going to the product website - at this link http://www.genesispureteampritchard.com/uploads/2/4/9/1/24915939/faq.pdf and scrolling down to their explanation on Prop 65. I have no independent knowledge about this product, but I presume this is the issue.

Prop 65 -is not a standard, Unlike FDA and does not set a limit or standard no matter how small- It is A WARNING for people that some metal exists in the product.

Seem to be made of steel. Nice and hefty. But, I have no idea what CA prop 65 refers to.

Hi Anthony, The bottle I have doesn't have the prop 65 warning on it. I e-mailed the company that makes sonne's #7 to get you the correct answer to this question. I will have the answer to you tomorrow since their company is closed today. Thank you, Sandy

Many companies are putting the warning on everything they make as a safety measure if their product gets shipped to California. The Prop 65 lawsuits have gotten out of control in California and it has everyone scared. Testing is very difficult and expensive to prove you are prop 65 compliant and the requirements change every year.What started out as a good way to make safer products has turned into a financial boom for law firms in Californian and the state of california.

All the information I've been able to find on Proposition 65 is pretty vague. It it supposed to warn consumers of "chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm" As far as I can tell, there is no thought given to the amount of these chemicals - some of which you can't escape in the manufacturing process. More info can be found here: http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/p65faq.html Although the most helpful line from the faq seems to be: "To request more information regarding the chemical exposures that are the basis of the warning, contact the manufacturer of the product." If I had to guess what chemical warranted the proposition 65 warning, I would guess cadmium.

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.

Keith Kreider, I will have to contact the manufacturer to know for sure, however, I suspect it is because there is a California Proposition 65 Warning on the system. Customer Service TheBetterBuy

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 cancelled my order after reading the Prop 65 warning and today I just saw this update. Thanks for the update. If Amazon is in error they should go ahead and remove the warning. Its confusing the customers.

Customer support said that it has California proposition 65 warning. So it is not free of carcinogens.

I just live chatted with Kitchen Aid and they said that the ceramic pot has tested lead and cadmium "free" and that the product does *not* require a california prop 65 warning. I think that's as close as one can get to being certain that it's lead free before purchasing and testing yourself.

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!

Mine doesn't have that warning labeled on it. From what I just googled that label is a California requiredment. I honestly am not familiar with much of the cancer causing ingredients in anything. I personally will look further into this subject. Good question. Good stuff.
