WARNING:
Quartz products contain crystalline silica, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer. (Proposition 65)FOR CONSUMERS / END USERS:
We strongly recommend professional installation by qualified or certified fabricators to ensure safety. Once professionally installed — or installed without any further cutting or alteration — quartz countertops generate minimal dust and pose negligible health risk in normal use, such as food preparation or surface contact. Proper installation keeps your quartz surface safe, durable, and beautiful for everyday living.
NOTICE FOR FABRICATORS, INSTALLERS, PROFESSIONALS, OR END USERS WHO PERFORM THEIR OWN INSTALLATION:
Cutting, grinding, polishing, drilling, machining, or breaking this product (including during fabrication or
on-site adjustments) may release respirable crystalline silica.
Repeated or prolonged inhalation can cause lung cancer, silicosis, or other serious lung disease.
- Use wet-cutting methods — never dry cut.
- Segregate dust-generating work from other areas using barriers or ventilation.
-
Wear NIOSH-approved respirators (N95, P100, or higher) and appropriate PPE; follow Cal/OSHA § 5204
for exposure monitoring and control as required by law.
Maintain exposures below Cal/OSHA limits (e.g., 50 µg/m³ 8-hour TWA). - Launder or change contaminated clothing before leaving the worksite; do not take work clothes home.
- Use HEPA-filtered vacuums or wet cleanup methods; never use compressed air, dry sweeping, or blowers.
- Keep children and bystanders away from areas where cutting or fabrication is performed.
