I did not look for the warning sign from this product. I did not keep the brochure to review it at this time. Thanks.

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.

I recently contracted all California cancers even thou I live nowhere need it. Who knows, breathing gives u cancer now and days but common sense will tell u that it's a WIRED BRUSH. We brush our teeth with brushes everyday, well most of us, and they recommend that so yea I think California is just being California

Yes, it does! Go to the Homak website. It shows the "California approved" seal on the description page. http://homakmfg.com/Security%20Site/Links/Catalogs/Homak%20Security%20Catalog%20PDF.pdf

There is no lead in this product. Any prop 65 warnings you see are because the state in which the product is made has laws concerning notices about lead. You might notice it on buildings in states like CA, as well. The product is lead-free. The state is over-zealous on labeling.

Probably owing to labeling laws about "contains substances known to the State of California cause blahblahblah" when the mere act of living in California is itself known to cause worse.

Yes, according to mayo clinic it does, however the package doesn't day it does specifically. The package states that it contained chemicals that can cause cancer and or other birth defects and harm

I've heard nothing of the sort. That doesn't mean anything, though, since California has too many stringent rules and I can't keep up with all of them. I've use this product for several years without issue, but that's just me. I think it's worth trying, but you'll have to use your best judgment. What is the chemical that you're concerned about?

Most items produced, shipped, or sold in or around California have the proposition 65 warming on them from fast-food restaurants to cars to shampoo. An important note is that the presence a Prop 65 warning does not necessarily indicate a product itself is specifically unsafe. Materials and compounds used in the manufacturing of Breville® products are considered proprietary and may not be disclosed. All Breville products are food safe and compliant with all applicable U.S. product safety regulations and requirements.

Yes, it does. On the tag, it states: "California Proposition 65: the brass in this product contains lead. Warning: this product contains one or more chemicals know to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

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

I believe it has to do with trace amounts of lead in items grown in soil, which is practically unavoidable. Google Prop 65 and try calling Vibrant Health for clarification. You probably got a container meant for California.

That's probably based on California's Prop 65 act which requires labeling for 600 plus elements that they have on their carcinogen list. If you use these in the manner in which they are supposed to be used, I cannot imagine why they would be a carcinogen. http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65/prop65_list/Newlist.htmlThis is a crazy b.s. California law designed to generate significant revenue for the state, because they're bankrupt. They can add items to the list anytime they want, and companies have to keep a full-time compliance director on staff to make sure they're not fined.Anyway, I think you'll be fine, but who knows? Maybe they're making the clips with Kryptonite =D That's probably based on California's Prop 65 act which requires labeling for 600 plus elements that they have on their carcinogen list.

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

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.

I don't have the box anymore, but the bottle doesn't have a cancer warning. The ingredients are: "Butyl Acetate, MEK, Cellulose Acetate, Isopropyl Alcohol, Phthalic Anhydride/Trimellitic Anhydride/Glycols Copolymer, Nitrocellulose, Triethyl Citrate, Hydroxypropyl Methacrylate, Hydroxycyclohexyl Phenyl Ketone, Violet 2 (CI 60725)"

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
