-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- California Proposition 65 requires special product labeling for products
containing certain chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm if the product will
expose the consumer to such chemicals. Lead levels in these products
comply with FDA standards.
California requires the following separate notice:
Prop 65 Warning for ceramic tableware marked with a yellow triangle on the
packaging: "WARNING: Use of this tableware will expose you to lead,
a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or
other reproductive harm."
Prop 65 Warning for decorated glassware items: "WARNING: The materials
used as colored decorations on the exterior of this product contain
lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects
or other reproductive harm."
Prop 65 Warning for all other identified products: This product contains
lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, and other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. In compliance to California's Prop 65, Unison Gifts has decided to label
all our ceramic items, rather than do destructive testing on each product.
Below are FDA and Prop 65 standards of lead in Tableware, as supplied by the
California Department of Health Services (
