It says in the instructions that " Components can cause cancer".What is that about? The lead pellets that are used or what?

any time you handle lead projectiles, wash your hands or use rubber/latex gloves. Don't sweat it. Enjoy shooting!

I do not know specifically what they are eluding too. The gun does come with a slight coating of oil on it and had to wash my hands when I first handled it. I used a rag just clean the whole gun up. I can think of anything else.

I believe it is a General Warning and Disclaimer that is required By Law. I am in The HVAC and Electrical trades. About every piece if equipment we install has that Disclaimer in the paperwork some where. Seen the same thing with Auto parts. It is a Legality.

Don't use it. It is known to cause cancer. Amazon sent an email regarding Canada banning this product a couple months ago. I am surprised they are still selling it.

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

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

Same reason my building lobby warns all who enter that the building contains cancer causing substances: because we are an overly-litigious society of damned fools. At least in California. Just the same, I don't recommending eating or otherwise ingesting this product.

Go to the Hamilton Beach web site and FAQ. http://www.hamiltonbeach.com/faqs-slow-cookers.html The web site states the following: Lead and cadmium are naturally occurring elements in the earth. As cooking vessels are earthenware cooking vessels, lead and cadmium may be naturally present. HBB cooking vessels are porcelain enamel coated to create a barrier between food and earthenware. The porcelain enamel coated cooking vessels are evaluated using ASTM extraction test procedures with detection limits of 0.1 ug/ml for lead and 0.01ug/ml for cadmium. In HBB cooking vessels, the amount of lead or cadmium present in the extractant is below the test's limits of detection. Additionally, the factories that manufacture HBB cooking vessels are certified ceramic production facilities whose ceramic ware is deemed to satisfy FDA heavy metal requirements in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and China. HBB takes all reasonable steps to ensure that our cook vessels provide safe and satisfactory service to our consumers.

I don't remember, I didn't think this was an issues at the time of purchase so I wasn't actively looking it. Why do you think there would be lead in there to begin with?

There are really no lead-free pellets that have impressed me yet. They're all inferior in both economics and accuracy. Is your concern for lead because of a local or state law or an issue with the possibility of lead consumption? If it's because of lead consumption, the velocities at which pellets impact is low enough that lead does not fragment. If you're dead-set on lead free, buy a box/tube of each and try them. Pick the most accurate. I've heard mixed reviews about them all, and I would think barrel fit is more important than it is in lead.

It's because of California's Prop 65. Lead occurs naturally in MANY vegetables, fruits, etc. That's what the label is about. Don't be upset - just educate yourself. You can start at MacroLife's website. They have a great explanation about the lead warning there.

Mine doesn't have that warning labeled on it. From what I just googled that label is a California requiredment. I honestly am not familiar with much of the cancer causing ingredients in anything. I personally will look further into this subject. Good question. Good stuff.

"copper metal components...possibly contaminating your drink with trace amounts of the copper... known to cause cancer...".Considering all the copper pipe used for water supply lines in California (and elsewhere), contamination from your coffee pot are the LEAST of your worries, IF you think copper is a problem (it isn't, although lead leaching from the solder joints in your plumbing HAVE been a source of concern, albeit minor).In litigation-happy California, the warning is plastered on just about everything, making it relatively useless to rely upon.

There are some bad carcinogenic ingredients. Don't buy. Aluminum, oxibenzone.

I believe it is quite safe to use. :) I made sure to read the description before i purchased it and it says that the product is FDA aprroved. In my opinion, I think it is a fairly high quality product. Lead shouldn't be in a FDA approved item.

These are lead.From a 1200 FPS rifle, they travel 1000 FPS.They are devastating. There are heavier hunting pellets and lighter alloy pellets. These are just right.

I would stay away from steel, brass, copper, tipped pellets, my son shot clear though a full 55 gallon drum of kerosene that was a good thick drum with a 1200 fps .177 pellet rifle using a penetrator pellet. I was upset and had to scramble to find other containers to put it in since it was flowing out both sides.

I wondered the same thing but lead isn't mentioned anywhere on the packaging or the item. I think you would have to contact the manufacturer to get an answer to this question.
