My Livercare bottle came with a California warning label indicating it contains lead. Anyone know anything about this warning? How much lead, etc?

I live in Michigan. I have taken the same for a long time. My bottles say nothing about lead. It is all herbs. I am surprised.

It's California specific. Here's some good info on Proposition 65 - which requires this for CA only. http://www.itmonline.org/arts/prop65.htm

That seems odd. It's all made of flowers, but if they use fertilizer, herbicide, insecticide, I don't know what they might break down into, & how fast it exits the body. You can ask them www.himalayausa.com/ 1-800-869-4640

I am not sure what website did you order it from. We order at himalayausa.com and we don't see any California warning label. Our bottles have been delivered from 1101 Gillingham Lane, Sugarland , Texas 77478.My wife has been taking this supplement for more than 5 years and we firmly believe that it only does well to the liver.Hope this helps.

I received my bottle with capsules this week. Indeed, there is a warning that it contains lead. Did a quick search and found a claim filed by an attorney against the company for exceeding allowable amounts of lead (whatever that means). There is not much more info... but i spent only about 5 minutes searching. I wonder if i should take it (already taken several capsules). Anyone has spoken with the company or has more info?

The pharmaceuticals are against herbal supplements. I imagine they contract lawyers to be against Himalaya. So far, I¨ve used the products for more than 6 years and have had no problem. Information about this issue is scarce.

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

The hard plastic bottles were the things that had BPA in them. The reservoir is California Proposition 65 compliant and made of a different material. If Cali says it's safe I'd say it's safe.

Great question. I wasn't aware that it may contain lead. I'll be getting rid of it if that's true.

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.

As I recall from researching it is not completely lead free. However the only time the lead will leach into the liquor is if it sits for a long time in the decanter. I read that the amount of lead that would be in a normal glass is not harmfull unless you are drinking from it all the time. But if you are drinking from it frequently then you will not have the lead leaching problem. I use it pretty often, and I am a okay! Great product.

Hi Pam..I tried this product for the first time @2 years ago. I was thrilled and ordered two more. It worked nicely to smooth and give some lift..BUT, then I read an article about Sodium Benzoate which is at the bottom of the ingredient list for this Serum. My half used bottle and full new bottle are now sitting untouched. Apparently, according to several websites, this ingredient is toxic to the liver. It is in a lot of make-up and shampoo products. This is totally your choice as to what to do now.

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

I am 73 and I very good health thank you. No water passes though the pressure regulator valve. This is why California is going broke with many of these useless regulations. You would have to drink 50 gallons of water a day to get any where near any amount of lead. If this makes you feel good, then avoid by all means. Yes it is all about you feeling good not the actual reality. Do bother answer this because you really don' tT

I really think this is a typo... I looked it up, and found this: "WARNING: The power cord on this product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause [cancer, and] birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling." The above sentence comes from this website: http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/othercarcinogens/athome/cancer-warning-labels-based-on-californias-proposition-65 Given the similarity in the warnings, I think they meant to type "cord" instead of "code" which makes more sense. :) I had wondered about this myself. :)

Yes, this product does have a warning label. I just received my 1lb maca Powder and saw a warning label on it. I read what Healthworks wrote about Cal Prop 65. We already consume so much lead throughout our daily intakes, so "0.5 mcg/day" using this particular Maca powder adds up to a toxic level. I will return this product. I purchased this before Healthworks post their answer. Since others answered that they did not see a warning label, I purchased it. I should have closely read the small print on the image.

I see no indication of lead being used in the bottle. I use mine for my sodastream using an adapter. The tanks is aluminum, and has brass fittings. I have had no problems with this tank. I believe the kids have even used it for their paintball guns. :D

It is a great concern for everyone who has purchased this product .I stopped using this product two weeks ago for the same reason of uncertainty. Does anyone know if there is a "Mercury test kit " available to public so we can check the for the trace of mercury and Lead , if any, in the product ?

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

I was worried about lead too. I was just told a lot of glassware has lead, Cadmium or Barium Oxide so I am trying to change my dinnerware and glassware to something safe. Did you try contacting the company to see if their product is free of these items? thanks

Because there's lead in this product. I just contacted the company and found this out. I will be sending mine back.
