does this hose have a label on it that states, "This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects..."

I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to that question. However, I seem to recall that the label stated that the hose was safe to drink from.

Do not know, a water hose is white, you should not drink out of any hose that is not made to drink from..

I don't remember seeing a label. I wish I would have done more research on it first, but I would probably be using a lead free rubber hose of some kind (if that even exists) if I were watering plants or for drinking water, which I am not. I just bought it to wash the dog.

I think that's only in CA, but this bag didn't come with any warnings. I can't imagine how it could be harmful, though.

Yes, it does. On the tag, it states: "California Proposition 65: the brass in this product contains lead. Warning: this product contains one or more chemicals know to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Sorry, I am unqualified to respond to this question as it pertains to this heating pad. Nonetheless, I will comment that California has among the most strict of consumer warnings. California requires this type of disclosure on most water bottles and household plumbing (PVC) pipes. You might be inhaling more carcinogens when you fill up your gas tank than you'll encounter with the heating pad. (Gas pumps carry such disclosures too) My best guess is that petroleum products go into ALL plastics, many textiles and electrical components so the manufacturer is in compliance with all state laws by making this discolusre. Best to check with the manufacturer, Battle Creek Equipment if you still have concerns. As for me, I just wanted (and obtained) relief from pain with frequent heat applications and for me at least, it's better than taking painkillers which have all sorts of other side effects (and disclosures, too!). Thank goodness, we have choices!

I am fairly certain that it does not. However, some of the bottle's label was like acid burned away because it was coated in some of the fluid in the packaging. It was pretty odd packaging as mentioned in my review.

Prop. 65 is a CA State initiative. It does not necessarily mean it is harmful or carcinogenic. Call the manufacturer for more info. Here is an useful link on this Prop.: http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/p65faq.html

Okay, so I've seen posts where everyone is saying Californians are way too crazy about everything causing cancer. It just sucks when your buying something for your health and you feel good about it, then you open it up and it says it just might give you cancer. lol - not funny good.

Besides new labeling the formulation appears to be the same. It also has the California warning for birth defects etc on the label now. I attempted to research it and came up with very little as to why the addition of that warning. I couldn't find a difference in formulations on a certain well know auto detailing website either.

Good Questions. No information at all was provided with the product--not even a brand name. I t came shrink-wrapped, folded lengthwise, and coiled into a roll. Cutting open the shrink wrap released the strong caustic, creosote-like odor which prompted me to think "anything this noxious could very well be carinogenic." When there's not much to go on, in terms of information shipped with the purchase, I let paranoia take charge. Good Luck.

Every place and everything in California says "The product (or this establishment) contains (uses) chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm." Read most of the signs in restaurants you eat in and hair salons you frequent.

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

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.

The packaging I received does have a Prop 65 warning saying it contains chemicals known to the state of CA to cause cancer and/or birth defects...I'm assuming that includes lead.

I don't think so. It doesn't mention it on any of the bottle's labels. Be blessed.

I checked all of the packaging and tags, and did not see anything to indicate that it does. However, I'm not sure if they are required to label that or not. You may need to contact the company directly to know absolutely.

Great question. I typically look for tags or other labels on materials such as this (where children may go) and I did not find one. I am pretty sure that if this did fall under the CA category then it would have to be labeled as such- but I would research this further if I was you. Even though I did not find a tag or label stating this warning, I will be researching this further for my own peace of mind. Thank you for bringing this up!

No, honestly I can't see why this is an issue. The handle comes with a warning label that explains that it contains materials that IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA are considered to POSSIBLY cause cancer. They do that because of the amount of people that sue in California thinking that random materials caused their cancer. I wouldn't worry about it. The label is only there to prevent getting sued.
