I was shopping online the last week and came across some great deals on wholesale jewelry on the internet. Then when I scrolled down the web page I read how California retailers have to adhere to proposition 65 warnings. They had to let their customers know that their jewelry contained chemicals and elements that have been known to cause cancer and birth defects.
The site warned to wash your hands after handling the jewelry and to keep it away from infants and small children. And by the way think twice before eating or sucking on the jewelry. You do not want to have something than might cause cancer in your mouth. Now I do not wear jewelry myself, I was looking for gifts.
Do I want to give away gifts that come with such a warning however? If I do give jewelry in California do I have to make sure the tag listing the warnings are included. Do I have to verbally warn people of the hazard? Do I have to tell them to wash their hands after opening and handling my gift?
This proposition applies to California retailers. So does this mean I can buy jewelry in Nevada and not worry about cancer causing agents? Or can I give Nevada jewelry as gifts and have no worry about warning anyone about my gift Well jewelry is jewelry. The industry has been making jewelry the same way for centuries. I doubt if California is the only state where jewelry can cause cancer.
Do you pay attention when you read these cancer causing agents warnings? If I gave you a necklace with a proposition 65 tag would you refuse the gift, if you liked it? You would probably wear it. Or would you now be one of those people who goes around warning people wearing jewelry that they might be in danger? There is nothing wrong with caring about other people of course.
But how do the agents cause cancer? Does the state have proof that wearing jewelry causes cancer? And what about states that do not have such legal requirements, do those states simply think let our population find out the hard way that the ring they are wearing will make them sick. Jewelry has been made the same for centuries.
Jewelry has been manufactured the same for centuries. And lead has been part of that process for centuries. Has anyone gotten cancer for wearing lead around their necks? Or their wrists or on their ears for that matter? Who can say for sure? If it was not for proposition 65 in California however no one would give it a second thought. But at least customers can decide for themselves. If they want to wash their hands after wearing their jewelry that is up to them.
If you are giving jewelry this year as a gift you too can decide if that is the right gift to give. You can even warn people you give it to if you like. All of this I learned by shopping on the internet for wholesale jewelry. - 33380

I was looking for Wholesale Jewelry and Wholesale handbags on the net recently and I came across a website that had a California proposition 65 warning. It stated the warning was in accordance with the proposition requirement.
