California Proposition 65 Warning

Proposition 65, put simply

Under California’s Proposition 65, a business has to warn people in the state, clearly and reasonably, before they are exposed to chemicals the state has listed as causing cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. That list is long, it gets revised, and it reaches substances found in plenty of everyday manufactured goods — some plastics, coatings, adhesives, solder and electronic parts among them.

How that touches these products

The pieces sold here are built from silicone, plastics, textiles and electronics, and individual components can carry traces of substances that appear on the list. So a warning can turn up on a manufacturer’s packaging, or against a listing when the delivery address is in California.

What this store does and does not claim

This store runs no chemical laboratory of its own and does not claim that any piece is clear of every listed substance. No warning is applied where none is supplied by a manufacturer, and none is removed where one is. This store does not decide which chemicals are listed, and does not issue its own warning wording.

Operator confirmation

The exact warning wording, the pieces it has to sit beside, and the way it must be shown across this catalogue all have to be supplied and confirmed by the operator before this store accepts live orders. Until that confirmation exists, treat any Prop 65 information on these pages as general background rather than as this store’s final position.

Materials and cleaning

Where a material grade is mentioned on a listing, it repeats what the manufacturer states and is not a certification. The material safety page describes silicone, plastics and cleaner compatibility, and the care line on each listing explains how to wash and dry an item.
