In the product details, there's a Proposition 65 warning. Is there anything in the packaging that specifies the potential issue?

You would have to contact the manufacturer. It claims to be safe, and there is a general warning about fiberglass material. But it doesn't apply with this product...

No strong/bad smell was present. I am not sure if there was a CA prop 65 warning.

Prop 65 -is not a standard, Unlike FDA and does not set a limit or standard no matter how small- It is A WARNING for people that some metal exists in the product.

It is NOT lead free. In product details you can read: Proposition 65 warning!

I cancelled my order after reading the Prop 65 warning and today I just saw this update. Thanks for the update. If Amazon is in error they should go ahead and remove the warning. Its confusing the customers.

The purpose of Proposition 65 is to notify consumers that they are being exposed to chemicals that are known to cause cancer and/or reproductive toxicity. To request more information regarding the chemical exposures that are the basis of the warning, contact the manufacturer of the product.

Most items produced, shipped, or sold in or around California have the proposition 65 warming on them from fast-food restaurants to cars to shampoo. An important note is that the presence a Prop 65 warning does not necessarily indicate a product itself is specifically unsafe. Materials and compounds used in the manufacturing of Breville® products are considered proprietary and may not be disclosed. All Breville products are food safe and compliant with all applicable U.S. product safety regulations and requirements.

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

I've had a similar issue. I'm not sure if it's important or not. If you look on the packaging you'll notice that there is NO way to contact the manufacturer.The only thing I can suggest is to call up a computer place and run that by them to see what they say, orr even call a place that sells electronic parts. If you do get a response, please let me know what they say.

Presumably you purchased a California-bound product. Prop 65 is a unique California statute that requires warning for trace amounts of various chemicals. Some of these are naturally-occurring. For details, I would suggest going to the product website - at this link http://www.genesispureteampritchard.com/uploads/2/4/9/1/24915939/faq.pdf and scrolling down to their explanation on Prop 65. I have no independent knowledge about this product, but I presume this is the issue.

This issue has been raised by competing brands, but I've not seen the concern raised else where. I took a chance and have seen no ill effects, but have no further information. Have you contacted the manufacturer?

Some states require Prop 65 warnings on basically everything. I'm assuming this company is based in CA, since that's where these warnings are most prevalent. You might notice it on buildings, too. This isn't condemnation of the product - it's a fact of life in CA.

Please note: according to the manufacturer, the Zojirushi EC-BD15 coffeemaker does not have a Proposition 65 warning. Its inclusion on the product detail page was an error and has been corrected.

I don't know, but I do not recall seeing the lead warning on the packaging with is a requirement in my state (CA).

So far, no. There has been no such problem. Have you contacted the manufacturer about it? If not, why not?

From the Earthpaste website: "We love Earthpaste for the same reasons you do - it does a great job with only a handful of natural, beneficial ingredients. So if every ingredient supports good health, why is there a proposition 65 warning label? Proposition 65 is a California law designed to protect consumers when they use products containing harmful materials. Because of the way the law is enforced, California residents are used to seeing warnings where you'd least expect them-at banks, at Disneyland, and now, on perfectly natural products like Earthpaste. The most important ingredient in Earthpaste is Redmond Clay, a healing clay that has been used medicinally since ancient times. Like many natural foods (including peaches and pears) Redmond Clay contains the tiniest amount of naturally-occurring lead. There is a natural products exemption to prop 65 (otherwise organic green beans and carrots would be 20 times over the limit!) but because of the way proposition 65 is enforced, it would be impossible for a small company like ours to withstand the cost of any "false positives" from aggressive prop 65 law firms. Thus the warning stickers on Earthpaste. We hate doing it - we know our products are safe, we've seen them help thousands of people, and we use them ourselves every day - but a proposition 65 lawsuit, even one we would eventually win, would be really hard for a company our size to survive."
