We are constantly updating our website based on information obtained from our suppliers, as well as changes made to California laws. We never want inconvenience anybody who is new to these warnings! If you make any purchase on this site and discover a warning label and you didn't notice a warning on the product page, or in the event that we had not yet obtained the information and updated our website at the time of purchase: Please be advised that any purchase of an item bearing a Proposition 65 warning may be returned (or discarded at our discretion) to us unused for a full refund, at no cost to yourself. Simply email us at any of the Help addresses on this website or on any of your confirmations or shipping papers
