What is the California warning sticker on the side of the jar?

Some users were concerned about the California warning sticker (Scroll to #3 in Top Concerns about Major Fiber Therapy) on the side of the jar which states: "Warning: Consuming this product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer." The ingredient, silica, in the inactive ingredients is the reason for the California warning. Silica is a naturally occurring compound that is found in various forms, and it is generally considered safe when used in appropriate amounts. In the context of medications and some food products, silica is often used as an excipient, which means it is added to formulations as a processing aid or for specific purposes like improving flow or preventing caking.
