COMMITMENT TO PRODUCT SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE
Ball Pro, Inc. and its division, Diversified Quality Kitchenware, has made a commitment to our customers and end users through contacting a Compliance Manager, testing imported items, reviewing suppliers’ products, and implementing quality and social programs.

Product Regulatory Compliance
To ensure that all of our products are safe and compliant, we test all items when Ball Pro is the Importer of Record and perform an in depth review of supplier provided products against the following standards: CPSC, FDA, and California Proposition 65.

• Known children’s products have testing documents on file (inks included); if a children’s logo is added to a general use product, it will be reviewed for compliance.
• Aloe Up sunscreen has been reviewed to ensure it meets the FDA’s  formulation and labeling (monograph) requirements.
• For items that come into contact with food and/or drink, our products have been found to be compliant with FDA standards through a bill of material review, Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) verification (chromium in stainless steel and Pentachlorophenol test of wood), and/or testing.  Third party testing is required for plastic components and inks however XRF is acceptable for stainless steel verification.

After a thorough review, it has been determined that a minimal amount of products need to be labeled for California’s Proposition 65. With the upcoming change to the Proposition 65 warning, Ball Pro and Diversified are required to put the warning on product website pages, catalogs, and products with the specific chemical requiring the labeling.

PROP 65 WARNING: Please let us know if final distribution is in California or if you would like any other products labeled. The following items have preprinted packaging with the warning regardless of destination Rapala, PitchFix, Fishing Spoons.

It is recommended that promotional product distributors review the Prop 65 regulations in order to determine their responsibilities.
