My granddaughter got a geode, a meteorite, and a fossilized shark's tooth (she loves this stuff) for Christmas. Every package, though from out of state, had a label stating:
Warning-California Proposition 65: This product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Is Santa trying to kill us?
I saw Mommy killing Santa Claus1
Neat pic. Where did you find it?
Problem solved.
Sea water and sand give you cancer in California.
I live in California, and it is kind of scary to see that sign eveywhere and on many items. One year I bought Christmas lights on sale after Christmas, made in China, I believe. The next Christmas I noted it had the warning with the additional statement that I should wash my hands after handling the lights. I got rid of the lights. My hands got cold when outdoors a few times, so a relative gave me mittens from the 99 cents store. They were from China and had the warning on them. I couldn’t bring myself to wear them because I would feel like my hands were absorbing carcinogens. Got rid of them. I got candy from Japan with the warning. My question is, why are we importing all this hazardous stuff?
What a bunch of BS...I saw it on a package of organic apples. Think about it for a while and I also saw it on a hammer. How much is it costing the consumer for this BS?
The labels are ignored; they’re meaningless
when misapplied.
MTBE was mandated in CA by CA.
There was a movie on the other night called “Santa’s Slay”
“It turns out that Santa Claus is not really the cuddly, harmless old fellow that we all know and love. In fact, he’s a devil, and the only thing that has been keeping his bad side in check all this time is a bet he lost with an angel. Now, the bet has expired, and 1,000 years of good cheer will be replaced by Christmas fear. This Christmas will be a violent night of chaos, with Santa bashing his way through town.”
It was on prime time. I wonder how many parents let their kids watch it?
Gee does the marijuana now legal in California carry any warnings about the physical and mental heath hazards of using it?
There’s another called “Christmas Evil. “ I should look for it.
My question is why are you living in California where they put these hazardous labels on everything?
It's not that the products are necessarily hazardous. It's the liberal mentality coming out of Sacramento that is hazardous.
They rest of the country buys this same stuff and there are no "Hazardous in California" labels on them.
You live in progressive hotbed of liberalism, where everything is considered a danger to everyone, everywhere. The nanny state run amok.
Is there anything at all on this Earth NOT known to the State of California to cause cancer etc.?
Proposition 65 is absurdly restrictive. It was in part (in part, I said, not solely) devised to destroy the nutritional supplementation industry, in deference to the FDA and Big Pharma.
Natural substances contain trace amounts of lead, among other things. Unnatural pharmaceuticals do not - unless they are designed to do so, like some past mercury-based vaccines.
Just as with CFLs, if it serves some Big Industry, especially one favorable to Obama and company, it gets a pass.

G = typo.
P.S.
Many products and some entire companies in the nutritional market were effectively forced off the market by 65.
For disposal, I disassembled a new, but non-working, torcheire lamp (made in China). The hollow base was full of some kind of heavy, dark, powdered slag.
Is this the method by which China exports their hazardous waste?
