I contacted Uppababy directly and this was the customer service rep's email response: "We have received many calls from our customer about this warning. This warning is not specific to our product. It is just a general warning that is often found on on-line retailers and is accessed by a link, and does not tie back to our particular product. All of our products are certified and tested to pass all JPMA and ASTM standards. This warning does not apply to our products."

It's garbage. It reeks horribly... I believe it's got a polyurethane wrapping, which is responsible for the majority of the off-gassing. Big, giant notice stating that it meets CA flammability requirements, AKA it's chock full of flame retardant chemicals. Not at all non-toxic.

Proposition 65 requires the State to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. In other words. These gloves are manufactured with chemicals that the state of California considers cancerous or harmful. That's just what I got from researching it. Hope this helps

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

I'm not sure, but I'm definitely curious now! When I bought mine I don't recall there being any warnings so you've sparked my interest. According to various sites you have to contact the manufacturer directly to obtain the information, but I really liked the information found on the national cancer institutes website. Here's the link, http://m.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/othercarcinogens/athome/cancer-warning-labels-based-on-californias-proposition-65 Hope that helps a little!

It's made of PVC Rubber. California has Prop 65 on almost everything. When you walk into Starbucks establishment, it will have prop 65 warning. Also, when you pump gas, it has prop 65. It's really strict in California to the point where it scares consumers.

just went through the manual and didn't find any reference to a Prop 65 warning

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?

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

Any news or clarification on the Prop 65 warning? How can it be clarified if the manufacturer doesn't know why the warning has been marked on their product? I want to purchase this machine, but hesitate until this issue is cleared up.

There is no mention of lead or any other content on the product. There is no CA Prop 65 label...only one that says it was made in Mexico.

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.

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.

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'm sorry, but as I do not live in California, I have no idea why the CA Prop 65 warning is attached. I don't even know what it is.

Alas, I can't answer your specific question about Eco friendliness or how it may or may not relate to California's Proposition 65, but as a Wisconsin resident 9 mos. of the year and Montana the rest, I can testify it very substantially reduced dangerous slipperiness on tile outside both residences as we dealt with rain, snow and inevitable ice. After guests had two falls in 1 week in MT, we applied Safe Grip and no one slips anymore. Only been in use one winter, so can't address durability, but we're greatly relieved to have a product we can apply, sparingly, that reduces slipperiness to the point it's no longer an issue.
