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 website also warned people to wash hands after handling their jewelry. Also, the website said to keep their products away from small children and infants. Certainly do not let them suck on it or eat it. Adults so refrain from the same practices. Now I do not wear jewelry let alone eat it. I was simply 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?

Now California proposition 65 applies to retailers in California. Does this mean that if I buy the same type of jewelry in Arizona that the jewelry there does not have the cancer causing agents nor does it mean that retailers do not have to warn of the cancer causing agents? I think it is the latter. Jewelry is jewelry and if the industry has been using lead to create jewelry all this time I doubt if somehow California is the only state where you can find jewelry with cancer causing agents.

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.

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?

Lead has been part of the jewelry process for years. Do we know for sure if anyone has suffered any ill effects from wearing jewelry with lead? Who can say for sure. But if proposition 65 was not passed most people would not give it a second thought about the lead they might find in their jewelry. But at least if you live in California you have the opportunity to choose for yourself if you want to wear jewelry that falls under the proposition 65 category. You can decide for yourself if you want to wash your hands after handling your jewelry.

If you are considering giving jewelry as a present you can make up your mind if you want to tell the person about the proposition 65 warnings. Or you can simply point out the tag if it has one. And I might not have been able to make this choice if I had not gone online looking for wholesale jewelry and reading about proposition 65.

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