What is the Prop 65/Lead warning?

The warning is required to be in our manuals due to the fact that we sell products in the State of California and their Prop 65 requires the disclosure.  There is a potential of lead-based compounds in the internal makings of the power cord.  The internal parts of the power cord are no different than any other electrical cord and if the rubber around the wires is intact then there is no need for concern.  Should the cord become compromised, we would suggest just using a towel or glove to remove the unit from use (if needing to touch the wire area).
