EXPLANATORY NOTE: California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition
65) requires special product labeling for products containing certain chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Creative has chosen to provide a

65 level of concern, or could even be zero. However, out of an abundance of caution, Creative has
elected to place the Proposition 65 warning on its products.
