ED CHEMICALS KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER
OR BIRTH DEFECTS SUCH AS FIBERGLASS INSULATION, LEAD IN BRASS,

ALL “NEW EQUIPMENT” SHIPPED FOR SALE IN CALIFORNIA WILL HAVE
LABELS STATING THAT THE PRODUCT CONTAINS AND/OR PRODUCES

PROCESSES, HAVING THE SAME LABEL ON ALL OUR PRODUCTS FACILI-
TATES MANUFACTURING AND SHIPPING. WE CANNOT ALWAYS KNOW
“WHEN, OR IF” PRODUCTS WILL BE SOLD IN THE CALIFORNIA MARKET.

ING EQUIPMENT, OR FOUND IN NATURAL GAS USED WITH SOME OF OUR

STANCES ON THE LIST ARE FOUND IN OUR DAILY LIVES. MOST CON-
SUMERS ARE AWARE THAT PRODUCTS PRESENT SAFETY AND HEALTH
RISKS, WHEN IMPROPERLY USED, HANDLED AND MAINTAINED.
