Stone Brewery Pint Glasses
Posted on 12/4/13 at 2:49 pm

Was looking into getting some pint glasses and noticed this warning on their website.
Warning on Pint glasses
NEW! Stone Brewing Co. Pint Glass
WARNING: THE MATERIALS USED AS COLORED DECORATIVES OF THIS PRODUCT CONTAIN LEAD, LEAD COMPOUNDS, AND/ OR CADMIUM, WHICH ARE KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER, BIRTH DEFECTS OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM.
Is this something to be concerned about?

This is a requirement in California. Likely nothing to worry about.

I noticed that when I bought some glasses from them a while back. The glass I bought was just the IPA glass that is etched. No coloring or anything so I don't see how it could be harmful.

you don't lick the outside label of the glass so you're fine

I would think so. This pisses me off because I bought the IPA one from a local beer store and wasn't told about this. Are these things made in China or something?
No, you don't lick the outside of the glass, but do you not think the paint can come off when you put it in the dishwasher? Then get on other things you may be washing it with?

What a waste of time. Not surprised this paternalistic nonsense comes from California. Wonder if they also have warning labels on knives that if you shove it through your hand it may cause bleeding?

Come on, man.

I bought that glass too. After 3 rounds in the dishwasher, it is now a clean glass with no markings whatsoever. Whatever paint they use is some cheap shite. Just buy a normal pint glass, or better yet, and imperial pint, like at chimes.

Well played sir
Actually these pint glasses are incredibly easy to make.
Tie a string around the bottle, tie a knot. Soak string In Lighter fluid and place back on the bottle. Light the string, rotate bottle until you hear cracking then place in cold water. Break it of gently and sand it down. Voila

Those signs are all over Cali. It's "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" on a massive scale. Nobody pays attention to it because it is on everything.
From Wiki:
The following warning language is standard on products sold in California if they contain chemicals on the Proposition 65 list and the amount of exposure caused by the product is not within defined safety limits.
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
The wording can be changed as necessary, so long as it communicates that the chemical in question is known to the state to cause cancer, or birth defects or other reproductive harm. For exposures from other sources, such as car exhaust in a parking garage, a standard sign might read: "This area contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, or birth defects or other reproductive harm" .
California Proposition 65 Warning
Some businesses in the state post similar notices on their premises, even when they have not evaluated the actual level of risk from a listed chemical they know is present. Warning signs are often posted at gas stations, hardware suppliers, grocery stores, drug stores, medical facilities, and many other businesses. Government agencies, parking garages, hotels, apartment complexes, retail stores, banks, and restaurants also post warning signs because of the possibility of hazardous chemicals being present in everyday items or the nearby environment. Some large businesses, such as utility companies, mail a Prop 65 notice to all customers each year to warn them of dangerous substances like natural gas or the sand used in sandblasting.
There is no penalty for posting an unnecessary warning sign. Because of the overuse of the vague warning, the ubiquitous signs ultimately communicate very little information to the end user. This problem has been recognized by California courts, advocates, and businesses.

No. Everything else from or in California is labelled similarly. Just ignore.

I have a Stone glass I got from Calandro's. It's been washed many, many times and run through a dishwasher almost just as many times.. I have 0 problems with the paint.

Just saying that it may not be just the paint, but other things like your dish detergent and things like that? 
Just anecdote, I guess.

I'm not claiming a systemic problem with stone glassware, as it is the only Stone pint glass i own. Just that the paint came off of that one rather easily. However my shitty bulldog glasses from 3 years ago are still hanging strong.
