What is the chemical? 

You are referring to California's Prop 65. While the concept is a good
one...inform users of products of any harmful contents, the execution leave
a lot to be desired. They have been less than judicious about including
almost anything that MAY have harmful effects. Once on Prop 65, even though
subsequent test results may refute the inclusion, it is almost impossible to
be removed. One of the more recent inclusions are Mc Donald's French fries,
as overheated oil may contain trace amounts of possible carcinogens.

I would research the particular chemical a little more and then make up your
own mind.
