Pebblz sink mat .. causes cancer ?

[smurfchops]

Just bought a Pebblz Sink Mat without reading the blurb on the back ... until after I cut it away from the packaging and put it in my sink. Then I read the packaging .. "This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, or birth defects or other reproductive harm". Uh oh.. On reading reviews on Lakeland and Amazon some people say their mat had a toxic smell. Well mine doesn't smell. Any comments would be appreciated. Should I chuck it ... or wait till it turns red as the negative reviews say ... Looks lovely by the way but I haven't yet washed up my bolognese sauce or curry in it yet...

What is it and what is it for?

It keeps a porcelain sink clean and stops pans from chipping the sink, its really pretty ..
