CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
IMPORTANT: All manufacturer products meet current
Federal OSHA Guidelines for safety. California Proposition
65 warnings are required for certain products, which are
not covered by the OSHA standards.
California's Proposition 65 requires warnings for products
sold in California that contain, or produce, any of over 600
listed chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer or birth defects such as fiberglass insulation, lead
in brass, and combustion products from natural gas.
All "new equipment" shipped for sale in California will have
labels stating that the product contains and/or produces
Proposition 65 chemicals. Although we have not changed
our processes, having the same label on all our products
facilitates manufacturing and shipping. We cannot always
know "when, or if" products will be sold in the California
market.
You may receive inquiries from customers about chemi-
cals found in, or produced by, some of our heating and air-
conditioning equipment, or found in natural gas used with
some of our products. Listed below are those chemicals
and substances commonly associated with similar equip-
ment in our industry and other manufacturers.
• Glass Wool (Fiberglass) Insulation
• Carbon Monoxide (CO)
• Formaldehyde
• Benzene
More details are available at the Websites for OSHA (Oc-
cupational Safety and Health Administration), at
www.osha.gov and the State of California's OEHHA (Office
of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment), at
www.oehha.org. Consumer education is important since
the chemicals and substances on the list are found in our
daily lives. Most consumers are aware that products pres-
ent safety and health risks, when improperly used, han-
dled and maintained.
