BPA/chemicals old vs. new magicbands?

[LMHB]

I noticed on the online Disney store that there is a warning about the old magicbands containing BPA, which of course is harmful to female reproductive systems. My 7 year old daughter will be wearing this for a week straight. For the new bands, which look huge by the way, it doesn't list BPA, but it does list "harmful chemicals," at least according to California Prop 65, which I realize is more progressive than other states in terms of recognizing chemicals. Does anyone know if they have actually removed the BPA, or perhaps it is still included in the grouping. I know there is another magicband thread but didn't see this listed, although I didn't check every single page, sorry if this is a repeat. We are considering the decorated bands for sale online for our upcoming trip. Thank you!

BPA is a hazard in food containers because it can leach into food, then be ingested. I've never seen any hazardous information regarding wearing it.

Don't let your daughter eat her magic band and she'll be fine. There is nothing harmful that will penetrate her skin.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Not a concern.

If you avoid everything California labels as harmful, you'll never have any fun.

Or, buy the clip for the new bands and clip it to a backpack or something. That is what I am going to do, but only because I hate wearing a band and a watch on the same wrist and I don't like things on my other wrist.

I going to go with the Don't let your kid eat the Magic Band response.

Didn't they have to put the Prop 65 warning on all of Disneyland last year. That was when it became super over the top. It is one thing to say it is harmful if ingested it is a completely different thing when under normal uses it is perfectly safe so why create hysteria.

They have had signs up since before last year, as I remember them from my trip several years ago. Upon entering the Disneyland grounds there is a notice about hazardous materials on the gates.

I remember seeing it on some walls and thinking "Gee, I better not lick the walls".

Seriously though, all that did was make me stop paying any attention at all to any of their warning labels.

AH for some reason I don't remember seeing them in 2015. Maybe I was just oblivious to them already.

She doesn't have to wear it

All California wineries have it on the wall in case they use leaded crystal wine glasses. I wouldn't necessarily call California more progressive, just more crazy. ;-)

Well, I can only swear to the one on the Harbor Blvd. Gate. I do not remember seeing them anywhere else, even on my visit last year, but I noticed that sign both Last year and in, I think it was 2014. I remember thinking it was weird. Then I thought how much more harmful can anything be than the Anaheim tap water? California, eh?
