Proposition 65 Warning on Readers Eyeglasses
Over the years I have purchased a lot of reading glasses and have done some research on the plastics used for frames. However, I have never seen a warning label on eyeglasses of any kind until Labor Day weekend when I tried to order a pair of glasses online from readers.com. I got all the way to checkout and was just about to click on the “buy” button when the warning above came up.
Proposition 65 Warning Label on Washing Machines
Many appliances have warning labels on them due to lead in the cord which is not a big exposure to consumers during normal use.
Breville Glass Kettle and California Proposition 65
I had been looking for an electric glass kettle and finally found the Breville the Crystal Clear 1800W Schott Glass Kettle. When I opened the box it had the following warning: "California Proposition 65 Applicable to California Residents Only This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm." I called Breville to find out what chemicals in this glass kettle could possibly cause cancer, etc. The answer I received is that they put this notice on all their packaging for all their products to meet California standards, whether or not the product contains any of the hazardous chemicals.
