As with any electronic product that might find its way to California, the LG - 0.9 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave with Sensor Cooking and Smart Inverter - Stainless Steel, Model # MSER0990S, has a Prop 65 warning that informs Californians about potential exposure to chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm, requiring businesses to provide "clear and reasonable" warnings for significant exposures, allowing consumers to make informed choices about products from foods to furniture, appliances, and even environments like workplaces. The California Proposition 65 warning label is part of the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. Its purpose is to protect Californians by informing them about potential exposure to harmful chemicals. As part of the law, the state must publish a list of chemicals that are “known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.” The list contains more than 900 chemicals and gets updated at least once a year. The complete list is on the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) website. Only California law requires Proposition 65 warnings. They appear throughout California in a wide range of settings, including (but not limited to) restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, schools, and hospitals. They also appear on a wide variety of products. Some of these products may carry the label, among others: • Appliances • Clothing • Dishes • Electrical wires • Flashlights • Food items • Furniture • Hair dryers • Jewelry • Light fixtures • Padlocks • Pesticides. The label doesn’t necessarily mean the product violates safety standards or will harm you. When a Proposition 65 warning occurs on a product, you must consider it in context with your other environmental and dietary chemical exposures. Consider where you live. If you’re in California, the label is more common due to state regulations. Outside California, it’s less prevalent. However, awareness is crucial regardless of your location...^Ivan.
