Prop 65 warning?

[leplant]

Is the prop 65 warning on Sideshow products new? If this has been discussed I apologize

Almost everything is required to have label that says it will kill you in California, I think they way overdid it, and actually made it less effective and more of a joke.

That said, those statues do have strong smells especially factory fresh new releases, definitely not a good idea to breath all that in on a regular basis. I am sure you all smelled it, that’s why I let it air out in the basement for a week on any new ones after opening, before bringing them to my display in the living room.

Yes they're stinkers when they arrive, but I figured the outgasing was fairly short lived. Would hate to think I'm unnecessarily creating a hazard. I agree California is way over the top on these issues, but now I wouldn't mind knowing how long my statues are emitting toxic chemicles.

It's like that new car smell, it's also caused by toxic chemicals used in the plastics in the car.

I know the NordicTrack machine I got stunk for like 2 weeks before the smell finally went away. Even then after exercising on it for an hour or so my hands smell like the toxic chemicals from holding onto the plastic handles of the machine. after 10 mins or so the smell finally goes away (washing my hands with soap won't get rid of it).

So it does make you wonder how dangerous this stuff is...

I think it’s bit more serious than new car or treadmill, those are plastic smells and all have more strict specifications. While statue is paint which is much more toxic, especially there is zero regulation in those Chinese factories, I am sure they use the cheapest stuff they can find that is non-lead based (I hope).

Don’t want to overblown the issue, I would just let it air out for a while before bringing it to area where you or family regularly come in contact with. For the old stuff it should be ok.

agree 100%... up next here in Cali, new labels on your shower "Warning: Water may cause drowning"

I basically ignore every warning label that includes "known to the state of California."

May need that all over the country, what with all the idiots that reside here.

I got a bug from a friend that on the bottoms it says "Warning: for best results use other side". I ---- you not!
