Prop65 is basically meaningless [wsj.com]. A "Prop 65" label is attached to just about everything for fear of being sued. So congratulations CA, for passing a great "cry wolf" law that rendered itself moot by virtue of its existence.

The other explanation for silica, AKA silicon oxide, is that it is outdoor product. Silica is what makes up most of your common sand.....thank god for Prop 65 to warn you of that
"Unsightly mulch full of large chunks of construction debris, painted household garbage, plywood chunks, etc... Several bags were packed with nothing but recycled and stained construction lumber chunks, particle board and plywood bits. I'm warning all my friends and neighbors about this subpar product that came out of a rendering plant."

When will people learn:
- this stuff is REGIONAL. They're not making mulch in KS and shipping all over the country, so what you personally get isn't reflective of the mulch sold as a whole
- it's very likely that the mulch is also manufactured at just a handful of plants and put in different bags/labeling - so expecting "name brand" mulch to be better probably isn't a safe assumption
- even bulk mulch which should be hyper-local has the same issues - I've been getting bulk mulch delivered for years and it also has plastic bits, bags, pieces of metal, pieces of sawn wood, etc

If you look at a $4-$6 bag of mulch it probably has an MSC certification and alot of them specifically say no pallets or construction debris. The prop 65 on this bag mentions silica dust. My guess is that's because this mulch does contain construction debris and therefore a small possibility of silica dust.
Do I think you're going to get cancer from silica dust in mulch? absolutely not but it does tell you this probably has construction debris in it.
Dangit! Need to get a slickdeal alert next time.
None of my stores seem to post their actual sales flyers online anymore, so I never know when they have good deals unless I visit in store or see it on here,
