Covered Products shall be deemed to comply with the warning requirements of Proposition 65 for lead and lead compounds (H&S Code 25249.6), and be exempt from any Proposition 65 warning requirements for these listed chemicals if the brass that is part of the Covered Products is made of an alloy which contains no intentionally added lead or no lead content by weight of more than 0.03% ("300 parts per million," or "300 ppm").
