Notice:
The most fundamental particles in the products that we sell/distribute are held together by a "gluing" force about which little is known and whose adhesive power can therefore not be permanently guaranteed.

Important Notice to Purchasers:
The entire physical universe, including the products that we sell, may one day collapse back into an infinitesimally small space. Should another universe subsequently re-emerge, the existence of the products that we sell in this universe cannot be guaranteed.

Public Notice As (maybe soon) Required By Law:
Any use of the products that we sell/distribute, in any manner whatsoever, may increase the amount of disorder in our universe. Although no liability is implied herein, the consumer is warned that this process may ultimately help lead to the heat death of the universe.

Warning - as required by California law:
Some products may contain detectable amounts of lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some brass faucets contain lead, which can leach into tap water in small amounts if the faucet is not used for approximately six or more hours. Running the tap for 60 seconds to clear the water line is recommended.

Safe Drinking Water Act:
As of August 6, 1998, the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act (the Act) prohibits any person from introducing into commerce, faucet products that are not "lead free" as defined by the Act.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has determined that for a faucet to be considered "lead free" under the Act, it must satisfy the performance standard for lead leaching under NSF Standard 61, Section 9 (NSF 61/9).
Faucet products that are covered by NSF 61/9 include lavatory faucets, (but exclude metering, self-closing and electronic faucets), bar and kitchen faucets. The Act applies to residential, commercial and institutional installations, as well as new and retrofit applications.

California Proposition 65, "The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986" is the most stringent law (that we know of) of its kind at either the state or federal level. The federal standard for lead in drinking water is 11 ppb (parts per billion) while prop 65 (Calif) mandates a level of .05ppb. The Center for Environmental Health recommends that consumers run water for 10 seconds before filling a glass to remove water with the highest lead levels (from pre "Act" faucets).

Please do not misinterpret this page. We are in no way implying, hinting, suggesting or stating that we do not comply with all laws or that our customers should not take lead and potential carcinogenic products seriously. This page is simply attempting to have some fun with what some of our customers have commented about - our legally required warning statement. We must make that warning statement above (about lead and potential carcinogenics) to our customers to comply with the laws of California. We are very conscientious of our planet. We try to recycle as much as possible. We try to ship our products in used/recycled boxes whenever possible, we use a lot of old newspapers for packing and we separate our waste. We believe very strongly in safe products.

We strongly encourage all of our customers (and readers of this page) to write to all government bodies about safety with packaging of foods. We are very concerned about straws and baby bottles for children made out of recycled plastics with unknown compositions and origins as well as plastic cups, etc. made from non-virgin resins etc. We urge everyone to not only make the plumbing industry accountable but also the food container industry.
