The Prop 65 warning on KitchenAid stand mixers is a legal requirement in California to inform consumers about potential exposure to chemicals that may cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. This warning is not exclusive to KitchenAid products but is required for all products sold in California that contain trace amounts of substances deemed harmful. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) maintains the list of these substances and updates it regularly. While the warning label indicates the presence of lead, it is important to note that it does not mean that the product contains lead in a harmful amount. The warning is a precautionary measure to inform consumers about the potential risks associated with certain chemicals in their products.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Concerned, Proposition 65 was enacted in 1986 in the State of California. It requires an updated list once a year of potentially harmful materials. Whirlpool/KitchenAid meets or exceeds all standards for safe materials, but our products do have cords, which causes them to make the list. Any time you have a cord, there is the potential for it to come in contact with something hazardous.
