WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer. Is this true?

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?

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.

Doesn't everything? Can't imagine why...maybe pregnant women shouldn't eat it?? I'm looking at the package right now and there's no mention of CA Prop 65. The only warnings are, "may scratch some surfaces", "not for aquarium use", and interestingly enough, "due to the nature of this item, some rusting may occur" - hmmm.

I'm not sure which chemicals are supposedly cancer-causing, but I would assume that you could say the same re: much of what's in the things we eat. I've been pleased with the product for GF baking thus far.

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

I actually don't know what additional materials they are made out of. My guess is that "stainless steel" is an industry term to indicate a percentage, and that there are other impurities that go into it too, and it seems that the manufacturer has chosen to use cheaper materials? Just a ballpark guess. Was far from impressed. Here's the warning: "Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 25249.6, the Distribution of this Product Warns you That this Product May Contain Substances known to the State of California to Cause Cancer and/or Reproductive Toxicity"

http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/p65faq.html says the manufacturer puts the warning on the product. Where did you see the warning?

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

CA has a list of chemicals that must be stated in any product; there are 600 +/-. Possibly something in the stain or paint.

"Any item sold in the US has to meet CA requirements." That is not true. There are lots of products that are made without chemical flame retardants. In fact, CA just implemented a new law saying products do NOT have to meet the state's old flame retardant requirements because studies suggest the chemical flame retardants cause cancer. In Maine, there is a statewide ban on the chemical fire retardants that have been used to satisfy the old CA flame retardant rule (TB 117).

The label doesn't say - only that it is distributed from California. Given that, I'm guessing it's imported from the East but I could be wrong.

It has a California Proposition 65 Warning: "This product contains chemicals known to cause birth defects or reproductive harm".

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.

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 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. :)

Does anyone else see the irony here? 5% of the sales from these gloves will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation yet they are treated with Prop 65 which causes cancer! Seriously?!! I wanted to buy these gloves, but now I absolutely will not. My small statement. Get rid of the chemicals in our world!!!
