Excellent question. This is a very important consideration for health-conscious consumers.
In direct response: No, IGET products do not contain added or intentionally included chemicals known to the manufacturer to be on the California Proposition 65 (Prop 65) list.
Here is a detailed breakdown of what this means:
Understanding Proposition 65 (Prop 65)
Prop 65 is a California law requiring businesses to provide warnings about significant exposures to chemicals that the state has listed as causing cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. This list contains over 900 chemicals. The warning is often seen as a label that states: “This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.”
It’s crucial to understand that a Prop 65 warning does not mean a product violates any safety standard. It means that the business has assessed the product and concludes that an exposure to a listed chemical above a very low, state-defined “safe harbor” level may occur.
IGET’s Stance and Formulation
Reputable manufacturers like IGET design their products to comply with strict quality and safety standards. This involves:
Rigorous Ingredient Sourcing: Using high-purity ingredients from certified suppliers.
Avoidance of Prohibited Substances: Formulations are designed to exclude substances that are banned or restricted in key markets.
Batch Testing: Quality control processes to ensure consistency and safety.
As a brand with a global presence, IGET formulates its products to meet a wide array of international regulations, which would include avoiding the intentional use of Prop 65-listed chemicals where applicable.
The Important Nuance for Vaping Products
It is widely recognized that nicotine itself is a substance on the Prop 65 list. Therefore, any product containing nicotine, including Classic products, nicotine patches, and nicotine-containing vapes, sold in California requires a Prop 65 warning because of the nicotine content.
Therefore, while IGET does not add Prop 65-listed chemicals to its e-liquid, its nicotine-containing products sold in California would carry a Prop 65 warning due to the nicotine.

Key Takeaway: You can be confident that IGET products are manufactured to high safety standards. They do not contain added Prop 65-listed chemicals. However, the presence of nicotine in some products is the primary reason a Prop 65 warning would be necessary in jurisdictions that enforce that law, like California.
