You may have seen the following warning associated with our
products, as well as on other products purchased from other
manufacturers: WARNING:
Reproductive Harm – www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
This warning is the result of a law passed in California in
1986, referred to as the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act of 1986, or more generally referred to as "Proposition 65."
The warning does not mean that our products will necessarily
cause cancer or reproductive harm. A Proposition 65 warning also does not mean
a product is in violation of any product-safety standards or requirements. In
fact, the California government has clarified that “the fact that a product
bears a Proposition 65 warning does not mean by itself that the product is
unsafe.” The government has also explained, “You could think of Proposition 65
more as a ‘right to know’ law than a pure product safety law.” See http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/background/p65plain.html.
While we believe our products are not harmful when used as
designed, we provide the warning as a result of this California law.
