If we believe the stickers we see in California, then almost everything in California causes cancer. We find warning stickers on electrical wires, jewelry, dishes, flashlights, cars - they're everywhere! Even the wood planks we bought at Lowe's came with a version of the sticker:
I did a little research and learned that California's Prop 65 (aka the Safe Drinking Water and Toxin Enforcement Act) was passed in 1986, and since then the list of toxins has grown to about 800 chemicals. A warning label gets put on anything that uses any of those chemicals, no matter how small a proportion is used. So by now the legislation is not only worthless, it's actually dangerous because it encourages people to ignore the labels.
