California Proposition 65 Statement
WARNING: Handling this product may expose you to
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer
and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
Explanatory Note: California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires
special product labeling for products containing certain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Creative has
chosen to provide a warning based on its knowledge about
the presence of one or more listed chemicals without
attempting to evaluate the level of exposure. With Creative’s
products, the exposure may be below the Proposition 65
level of concern, or could even be zero. However, out of an
abundance of caution, Creative has elected to place the
Proposition 65 warning on its products.
Déclaration de la Proposition 65 de la Californie
AVERTISSEMENT: La manipulation de ce produit peut vous
exposer à des produits chimiques qui sont reconnus par
l’État de la Californie comme pouvant provoquer le cancer,
des anomalies congénitales ou d’autres effets nuisibles à
la reproduction.

Note explicative: La Proposition 65 (California Safe Drinking
Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986) de la Californie sur
les matières dangereuses et l’eau potable exige un étiquetage
spécial pour les produits contenant certains produits chimiques
qui sont reconnus par l’État de la Californie comme pouvant
provoquer le cancer, des anomalies congénitales ou d’autres
effets nuisibles à la reproduction. Creative a choisi d’inclure
une mise en garde s’appuyant sur sa connaissance de la
présence d’un ou de plusieurs de ces produits chimiques sans
essayer d’en évaluer le niveau d’exposition. Pour les produits
de Creative, le niveau d’exposition peut être inférieur au
niveau critique établi par la Proposition 65 ou même être nul.
Néanmoins, par souci extrême de prudence, Creative a choisi
de placer l’avertissement de la Proposition 65 sur ses produits.
