Why is there a sticker on my product stating WARNING - Cancer and Reproductive Harm?
California's Proposition 65 requires businesses to label products that contain chemicals known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. These labels serve as warnings to consumers about potential exposures to these substances, even if the risk is minimal or the exposure levels are well below those known to cause harm. As a result, you may see Proposition 65 warnings on a wide range of products sold in California, including tools and other items, to ensure compliance with the state's strict guidelines and regulations. It's important to note that these regulations are specific to California and do not necessarily relate to regulations in other jurisdictions, such as Australia. Please refer to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

 

Why don't you have a phone number listed on your site?
Due to the overwhelming number of calls I receive, I decided to remove the telephone number so I could manage enquiries through email.
I encourage all questions or concerns to be sent via email to help@sunsetcrystals.com.au & I'll be sure to get back to you as soon as possible.

Above all, I like to ensure our customers are happy with their purchase. If you have any questions about the items I sell or concerns with the products you've ordered, please send me an email so that I can provide you with an answer or give Sunsetcrystals the opportunity to rectify the situation.

We take pleasure in looking after our Beaders!
