Yes. To be fair, this statement is on many products and items that we use and may not have noticed it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Technically, yes, this is true. However, this legally-required label is applied very broadly, and does not necessarily represent a strong risk of obtaining cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. For example, this label could apply to things like car exhaust, or even coffee in some cases. According to Wikipedia, "the requirements apply to amounts above what would present a 1-in-100,000 risk of cancer assuming lifetime exposure (for carcinogens), or above one-one-thousandth (1/1000) of the no observable effect level (for reproductive toxins)." The existence of this risk label alone does not mean that you're likely to get cancer from your food processor.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We apologize for any inconvenience the warning may have caused. We're required by law in the State of California to include the warning you see. We include the warning in abundance of caution and to comply with this California warning mandate. The mere presence of even one of over 900 chemicals requires this warning and since it is not feasible to test for every single chemical, we're including the label with our products. Please rest assure that this product and all SharkNinja products are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. For further information please refer to www.p65warnings.ca..gov.
