I was surfing the net the other day for wholesale jewelry. I came across a website with some good deals. It also listed the California proposition 65 warning. It read that the jewelry had to be listed under this proposition as having chemicals and elements that have been known to cause cancer. Also, some of the elements and chemicals have been known to cause 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?
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.
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 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. - 33374
