WARNING! These products contain lead or other chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. A Prop 65 (formerly titled “The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act”) is a California law passed by direct voter initiative in 1986 to initially protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those elements. Over the years, this law was extended to consumer products that did not meet the lower limits established by the law like dietary supplements, requiring them to include a warning about potential exposure to a list of elements known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Proposition 65 requires lower limits on these substances than those required by the federal government in all of the other 49 states established by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization (FAO/WHO). In fact, the warning level for reproductive toxicants is 1000 times lower according to Prop 65 than the lowest level established by the federal guidelines at which animal studies reported no reproductive health effect At Bluebonnet, we have always taken the initiative when it comes to full disclosure on our labels even when labeling requirements like those in California through Prop 65 are so strict they exceed the requirements set federally in the other 49 states and are often impossible to meet when it comes to organic ingredients. Regardless, you can be rest assured that all Bluebonnet supplements meet federal safety limits on potentially toxic substances regardless of the laws set individually by each state. And in states like California, that have more stringent requirements, we will be transparent on our labels in following their specific warning guidelines; but this should not be a cause for concern over the consumer safety of any Bluebonnet product.
