https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/fact-sheets/household-appliances It is difficult to generalize about chemical exposures from household appliances because each appliance is different. If you see a Proposition 65 warning on an appliance and have questions about whether using it may expose you to Proposition 65-listed chemicals, contact the product manufacturer for more information.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We understand that the safety of everyone in the household must be a priority, Joss. We're delighted to help you with the information you need about this Samsung refrigerator. The chemicals in products that require the Prop 65 warning can vary based on product type. The substances that require the warning include certain levels of heavy metals, phthalates, and even Vitamin A. Certain listed chemicals, such as lead, are widely distributed through the environment in air, soil, water, and rocks. We believe our products are not harmful when used as designed; we provide the warning to comply with California law. A Prop 65 warning does not mean a product violates any product- safety standards or requirements. Prop 65 is a disclosure law rather than a product safety law. Thank you! -Angelica
