California Proposition 65

 

CALIFORNIA PROPSITION 65 WARNING STATEMENT:

 

WARNING: Consuming this product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.  For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/food.

 

WHY IS THIS WARNING LISTED?  

 

We want to assure you that Wise Woman Herbals products are safe for consumption despite some may contain trace amounts of lead. Proposition 65 regulations set strict limits for over 900 chemicals, including lead (which occurs naturally in soil and plants), aiming to protect public health and improve product safety. The lead limit, for example, is so ridiculously low that a 4 oz. serving of avocado, Brussel sprouts or spinach will exceed the daily limit. Our commitment to transparency ensures that we comply with these regulations and prioritize consumer safety and well-being.

It's important to understand that the trace amounts of any chemicals on the list are well below unsafe levels (in some cases 1000X lower), and our supplements are absolutely safe for consumption. We diligently test both our raw materials and finished products to certify that they meet agreed-upon industry standards for heavy metal levels. Our goal is not only to comply with Proposition 65 but to be well below any of the limits, ensuring the utmost safety and quality for our customers.

We trust our products with our own families and friends, and we want you to feel the same level of confidence when choosing Wise Woman Herbals. Rest assured that our commitment to safety, transparency, and quality remains unwavering.

 

 

WHY DON’T SIMILAR PRODUCTS FROM OTHER BRANDS CARRY THE SAME WARNING? 

There are a variety of reasons. Some larger manufacturers are able to label products only for California consumers, and ship products without Prop 65 labels to consumers elsewhere. Other companies may elect not to provide warnings because they believe that they are not required to do so under Prop 65 standards, and that puts their companies at risk for lawsuits. A lack of warnings for a product does not necessarily mean that the products is free of the same substances at similar levels. If you want more information about the contents of a competitor's product, it’s always a good idea to ask the manufacturer.
