Understanding the Chemical Warning on Our ProductsUpdated 8 months ago

At Chillbo, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our customers. We understand that you may have concerns regarding the warning labels on some of our products, and we're here to provide clear, reassuring information. Below are some commonly asked questions to help address these concerns.

1. Why is there a warning about chemicals on my Chillbo?

The warning label on our products is required under a California law known as Proposition 65. This law mandates that businesses provide warnings about products that contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

2. What is Proposition 65?

Proposition 65, also known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, is a California law designed to help protect residents from significant exposure to certain chemicals. This law requires businesses to place a warning label on any products sold in California that contain one or more chemicals listed by the state as potentially harmful—even if the amounts of those chemicals are very small.

3. Does this mean the product is dangerous?

No. The warning does not mean that the product is unsafe to use. The chemicals listed under Proposition 65 are often found in many everyday products such as furniture, electronics, household cleaners, and even food. The presence of these chemicals in a product does not automatically mean it will cause harm. The warning is simply required by law to inform consumers about the potential presence of these chemicals.

4. Why are these chemicals used in the product?

Some of the chemicals listed under Proposition 65 may be present in trace amounts due to the materials or processes used during manufacturing. These chemicals are often byproducts or naturally occurring in various components of products. However, their presence in our product is within safety limits established by regulatory agencies, and the product is safe for everyday use.

5. Should I be concerned about my health?

We understand your concerns, but please be assured that the levels of any chemicals present in our products are very low and pose minimal risk when used as intended. All of our products undergo rigorous testing and quality control to ensure they meet safety standards. The warning is simply a legal requirement to provide information, not an indication of immediate danger.

6. Is the product safe for pregnant women?

Yes, our Chillbo Shwaggins and Lazybone are safe for use by pregnant women. The warning is a precautionary measure as required by law. It does not mean that the product will cause harm. However, if you have specific health concerns, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider.

7. How does Chillbo ensure product safety?

At Chillbo, we follow strict manufacturing guidelines and testing procedures to ensure that all our products meet both federal and state safety standards. Our team is dedicated to producing products that are safe for consumers while complying with all regulatory requirements.
