Does the cancer warning Cal Prop 65 scare anyone from using?

I don't remember any cancer warning on the label but that doesn't mean it's not there.. I will say this about that particular shower head, I bought it on another site other than (Amazon) and best thing I can say, "DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY" it doesn't work as well as I hoped it would and there are a lot better made shower heads in your local big box stores, thanks for taking the time to ask "one very disappointed customer".. Hope this helped, Bobby!!

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

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.

From the Earthpaste website: "We love Earthpaste for the same reasons you do - it does a great job with only a handful of natural, beneficial ingredients. So if every ingredient supports good health, why is there a proposition 65 warning label? Proposition 65 is a California law designed to protect consumers when they use products containing harmful materials. Because of the way the law is enforced, California residents are used to seeing warnings where you'd least expect them-at banks, at Disneyland, and now, on perfectly natural products like Earthpaste. The most important ingredient in Earthpaste is Redmond Clay, a healing clay that has been used medicinally since ancient times. Like many natural foods (including peaches and pears) Redmond Clay contains the tiniest amount of naturally-occurring lead. There is a natural products exemption to prop 65 (otherwise organic green beans and carrots would be 20 times over the limit!) but because of the way proposition 65 is enforced, it would be impossible for a small company like ours to withstand the cost of any "false positives" from aggressive prop 65 law firms. Thus the warning stickers on Earthpaste. We hate doing it - we know our products are safe, we've seen them help thousands of people, and we use them ourselves every day - but a proposition 65 lawsuit, even one we would eventually win, would be really hard for a company our size to survive."

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.

As of Nov 2015, this KitchenAid slow cooker's Amazon listing (the listing here, on this page) has a California Prop 65 warning on it -- I don't know why it has this warning (whether it's due to something in the ceramic pot or in the cord or whatever), but I wanted to point that out because of the answer your question received in Jan 2015 saying that the product did _not_ require a California Prop 65 warning at that point in time.

Since there is no penalty for unnecessary Prop 65 warnings, some manufacturers seem to be hedging their bets by slapping it on items that don't appear to fall under the category of environmental health hazards.

Every place and everything in California says "The product (or this establishment) contains (uses) chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm." Read most of the signs in restaurants you eat in and hair salons you frequent.

There are no warnings at all on my 9 lb bar, just foam rubber, don't hink it will cause cancer or they would warn you. God I hope not.

Mine were not labeled with a sticker. I do not live in California. First thing I did was to wax mine when they were assembled. I would suspect that a person could paint them with a clear acrylic coating if there was concern about the finish. This is what I found on the subject: What Is Proposition 65? In 1986, California voters approved an initiative to address their growing concerns about exposure to toxic chemicals. That initiative became the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, better known by its original name of Proposition 65. Proposition 65 requires the State to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. This list, which must be updated at least once a year, has grown to include approximately 800 chemicals since it was first published in 1987. http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/background/p65plain.html

I'd be more concerned about the asbestos in the rock ;-) Yes, asbestos occurs naturally. However only over long exposures and inhaling particulants of asbestos is harmful. A bit of dust now and then isn't IIRC. Just more stupid California Prop 65 paranoia that we don't need in labels.

Probably not since it has some studies that show it can cause cancer. California has a warning on the label.

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

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.

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.

Its sold in California. In California you must put a prop65 warning if your products contain 1 of over 2000 materials. The penalty for not putting the sign or label is huge. The penalty for needlessly labeling is nothing. Starbucks, whole foods and every darn store in California has prop 65 warnings all over. Google prop 65 for more info. The toothpaste is made from Redmond clay, a naturally occuring product, so while it may contain thousands of micro amounts of minerals, organic lead may fall in there. This lead threshold will be less than the water you use to wash your mouth out from your sink. All tap water has inorganic lead present from deterioration of supply lines.
