California Prop 65 Warning



⚠️ California Proposition 65 Warning


A Note to Our California Customers

At Messermeister, we take pride in crafting high-quality kitchen knives and culinary accessories using premium materials and trusted manufacturing partners around the world. We are committed to transparency with our customers, including compliance with California’s Proposition 65 requirements.



What Is Proposition 65?

California’s Proposition 65—officially the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986—requires businesses to provide warnings about potential exposure to certain chemicals that the State of California has identified as causing cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.


The Proposition 65 list includes more than 900 substances, many of which are commonly found in everyday products, tools, and naturally occurring materials.



Why Am I Seeing This Warning?

Some materials used in the manufacture of knives and kitchen tools—such as metals, surface finishes, or handle components—may contain trace amounts of chemicals listed under Proposition 65. These materials are widely used throughout the cutlery and housewares industries and are sourced from reputable suppliers who meet applicable regulatory standards.

While our products comply with all applicable federal safety regulations and are safe for their intended use, we include this warning to meet California’s legal requirements.
