I thought of the thrift store and would include the Prop. 65 warning - but for some reason, it just didn't feel right. I guess if I'm including the warning, then it would be up to the buyer to heed that. But still - that didn't sit quite right with me to dispose of them like that.
EBay occurred to me and if they shipped out-of-state, I wouldn't have to worry about the warning. But no, that wasn't sitting well with me either.
My dilemma was not that I agreed or disagreed with California's strict regulations - it was my "soul" that it just didn't feel good.
So I thought I would check with returning them to the manufacturer.
I emailed Peter (the representative that I had been corresponding with about the Prop. 65 warning) and informed him that after giving it consideration, I had decided not to include them on my product.
I said that I was wondering if it was possible to return them for full or partial refund.
I also said that I had high regards for the company's customer support and his very quick responses to my questions and wondered if they had any similar product that didn't require the Prop. 65 warning.
His response came within a day and although we would not be able to return them because we had taken them out of the original packaging, the 2nd part of his email (below) put a smile on my face. I thought that it might do the same for you.
"I can now make it out of a low lead brass which will be ok for cal but the delivery will be about 3 1/2 months. Eventually we will be replacing our stock with the low lead but its going to take a year or two as i will need to use up all the items we have."
