Does this changing pad have the California Prop 65 warning for hazardous chemicals on it?

It says on the tag: "Notice: this article meets all flammability requirements of California bureau of home furnishings technical bulletin 117. Care should be excersized near open flame or with burning cigarettes". The material consists of 76% polyurethan foam pad 16% polypropylene fiber and 8% polyester fiber. It did not have any "chemical" smell when we got it, it's a very good pad.

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.

I checked the bottle and YES there is the Prop 65 warning, but said nothing about lead content.

Yes, it reads "Warning: Keep away from small children, the thin film may cling to nose and moutn and prevent breathing. Do not use in cribs, beds, carriages or playpens. This is not a toy." I noticed that on the bags from my dry cleaner, the warning is printed more often. These bags are long and the warning appears about 1-1/2 times on the bag and isn't as noticeable. I had to look for the warning versus it being more prominent on the bags that I get from the dry cleaner. It is printed in white, and is approximately the same size as the ones from the DC.

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

Yes, it has two pads that are available in replacement boxes of 3 (go figure). I needed to change them every month due to hard water.

Ugh! I didn't even notice that. This is what I found: "Proposition 65 requires businesses to notify Californians about significant amounts of chemicals in the products they purchase, in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment. By providing this information, Proposition 65 enables Californians to make informed decisions about protecting themselves from exposure to these chemicals. Proposition 65 also prohibits California businesses from knowingly discharging significant amounts of listed chemicals into sources of drinking water." http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/background/p65plain.html I don't have to worry about it as the hose snapped off the base about a month ago. I'd take a pass on this one, if I were you. It's all plastic.

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.

just went through the manual and didn't find any reference to a Prop 65 warning

I never used it! I returned after the packing slip stated that according to proposition 65, they had to tell me this product will give me cancer and this notice only goes to CA residents in the USA

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!

All nutritional supplements in California contain this warning due to Prop 65. I would not worry about it, because ALL supplements say this.

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

Proposition 65 was passed in California in 1986 and requires the State to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The list includes over 800 chemicals and compounds, including some which occur naturally in the environment and some common substances that are beneficial when used in appropriate doses. In order to comply with California Proposition 65, we print a warning on every invoice being shipped into the state of California. Some of the substances on the Proposition 65 list occur naturally in both the environment and the human body and also exist naturally in many of the foods we eat. Therefore, it can be expected that trace levels of the same chemicals would be detectible in virtually all herbal and natural dietary supplement products. If you would like further information on Proposition 65 please contact The Food and Drug Administration or The Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Outreach and Information Center, maintains a consumer information hotline at the following number: Toll-Free Information Line: (888) 723-3366.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&nodeId;=3234041This explains Prop 65 in detail. In reply to your question however, it can be both the electrical components AND the salt itself that could lead to that warning label. Some places where the salt is mined are exposed to many environmental challenges (mercury, lead, plastic & petroleum toxins, chemicals, etc.) and since we dont know exactly which salt mine/deposit it came from, we cant know for sure. They originate from the Himalayas(in Pakistan) Im sure theyve tested this however, keep in mind however that whatever elements are causing the warning , are within a relatively safe level and the label is just there per California state law to inform you. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&nodeId;=3234041This explains Prop 65 in detail.

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.

No strong/bad smell was present. I am not sure if there was a CA prop 65 warning.
