A: The company's answer is frustratingly but conveniently vague. The new law requires the company to identify at least one of such chemicals. Why can't the company tell us which ones?

A: Our products may contain plastics and/or other materials which have chemical compounds, many of which are found in nature or are the byproduct of the manufacturing process itself. California Proposition 65 law requires manufacturers to notify their customers if a product contains any of the now 1,000 plus listed chemicals that may cause cancer or reproductive harm (in the opinion of the State of California). Since the majority of manufacturing materials are made from various chemical compounds, it is impossible for manufacturers to produce products without at least one of the 1,000 plus listed chemicals being present in products. Chefman takes product safety and compliance to the law very seriously. As such, all Chefman products meet or exceed National and International standards for electrical and chemical safety. We are a socially responsible company and have therefore chosen to notify our customers in accordance with the California specific requirements.
