proposition 65 change set for 2018

[total.sports.llc]

So it has been brought to my attention by one of my manufacturer that by August 30, 2018 all of our listings must show the proposition 65 disclaimer in the listing description, at least the stuff that has that on the packageing, but proposition 65 probably is on everything so that would have to go onto all of our listings.

Has anyone else heard this?

No that won't do. The buyer can't be made to "find" the warning.

I have spent about an hour on the phone with ebay about this.  They said they are not requiring it at this time.  As soon as I said "please send me that in writing"  they put me on hold and now checking. 

No one there has a clue.

They posted an announcement now today about this

I'm waiting for the necessity of a tattoo or tag around the neck warning that the people in the State of California may be harmful to the health of other individuals. 

On the back of the tag or with another tattoo (they seem to be quite fashionable this century), it will be recommended to always wear protective clothing, respiratory filtration devices, body armour and vision obscuring devices and carry approved substance detection devices when interacting or in the presense of any carbon based unit(s).

I'm waiting for the day I have to put warning stickers on my booklets:

WARNING!

Handle with care!

Contains paper, which may cause painful cuts if handled carelessly.

Oh my word...

When I posted this yesterday I was just kidding.

Look what I see when I'm listing a nonfiction book:

Time for the paper cut warning

I thought this was a joke written by the poster. It is not. Wow...

[rednyellow]

Well, I'm a business of One... just a li'l ol' lady selling vintage stuff that hasn't had a label for a long time. And right now I'm selling a bunch of stuff that was made in California.

We now have 4 threads on this topic. This one from April and 3 from today. Mods???

[myjunqueyourtreasure]

Please don't ask them to merge the threads. That makes an unholy mess.

Is anyone seeing the yellow warning symbol with the text at the bottom of their listing? I changed one of mine and it is only showing text in the details area which is not complying with the law. On the release on the 28th it was supposed to show that at the bottom.

I sell cutlery and here is what I added for my listings, just to be safe : 

WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. That being said, I wouldn't lose much sleep over it. A more accurate warning for this product is: "WARNING: Very sharp, you could possibly cut yourself or others and the chances of that happening are way greater than getting cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm, unless your Californian." So for Pete's sake, purchase responsibly and please don't use it near any reproductive organs! Thank You.

Hope this helps...

It will only show up if you're purchasing from a CA zip code. Go the the Shipping and Payments tab, toss in a CA zip, update, and you'll see it under the item specifics.

I will try putting in a California Zip, I had someone living in California test it but they did not see the warning. Maybe they have to go farther in the checkout.
