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. For more information, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
