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.
I am warned to even wash my hands after touching the jewelry. Infants and small children are to be kept away from the jewelry. And if you see anyone sucking or eating the jewelry you better tell them to stop. Who wants a cancer causing agent in their mouth?
But I am not sure I want to give a gift that needs such a warning. When I give it to someone as a gift do make sure they read the proposition 65 warning. Do I have to make sure to tell them to wash their hands after handling my gift; and what if they have children? Do I have to tell them not to let their kids handle 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.
Does anyone pay attention to these warnings? Do you pay attention to such warnings? If I gave you a wrist bracelet for Christmas with a California 65 tag on it would you not accept it, if you liked the bracelet? Chances are you would wear the bracelet.
How does jewelry cause cancer anyway? Does California have a unique testing system other states do not have? Or do the other states have the same information but they simply let their population take their chances on getting sick?
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.
And if you are thinking of giving jewelry as a gift you can decide for yourself if you want to warn the person you give to about the cancer causing agents, or if you want to give jewelry at all. I might not have known all of this if I did not go shopping online for wholesale jewelry. - 29871

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