Warning
Eppendorf products can expose you to chemicals including the chemicals listed in table below, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov .
These and other California Proposition 65 chemicals may be present only in trace quantities, or contained interior in Eppendorf equipment, where exposure is unlikely or negligible. This warning is being provided out of caution.
California Proposition 65 Information
In 1986, California voters approved an initiative to address their growing concerns about exposure to toxic chemicals. The legislation ensures that people are informed about exposure to chemicals known by the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and/or other reproductive harm. Commonly referred to as Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires businesses to notify Californians about significant amounts of chemicals contained in the products they buy, located in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment. This allows them to make informed decisions about protecting themselves from exposure to these chemicals.
Eppendorf is providing this warning based on its knowledge that one or more chemicals listed by the State of California relating to Proposition 65 may be present in Eppendorf products. This is justified by a low percentage of the listed substances which are included in raw materials that are without known substitutes and are essential to produce Eppendorf products.
