Not going to go political on this, but prop 65 is loosely a blanket law to have ANYTHING that may cause bodily harm to be disclosed. I had a “Prop 65” warning on the doors of my printing facility. In the building there were chemicals used that “ the state of California” listed as potentially harmful if exposed. Printing ink and lead type being two examples.

1986 California Proposition 65 - Wikipedia

CALIFORNIA - MIGHT CONTAIN NUTS

And don’t go out in the day the sun light is a known carcinogenic.

They are probably looking for a way to slap a big sticker over the sun so everyone is aware of this.

I found a Prop 65 warning sticker on a sheet of plywood that I bought a couple weeks ago. I guess wood causes cancer.

The problem now is that the warning is on absolutely everything so it's completely pointless.

Yes, where do you draw the line?

Your motor vehicles ought to be stickered front and back to warn pedestrians of the danger of impact...

And on the sides due to the risk of fingers trapped in doors...

And under the bonnet in case it drops on the unsuspecting, likewise the boot

So perhaps you should replace all bodywork with Prop 65 warnings

Well, actually, Proposition 65 requires manufacturers to test for a huge laundry list of potential carcinogens, or to place the sticker if they decide not to test. Since the testing is extremely expensive (how many things that may be carcinogens can you think of, right off hand? I'll bet it's several dozen - now imagine having to test every separate product you make for all of these plus all the ones the lay person can't think of off hand), manufacturers have simply decided not to test, and to slap on the label.

Of course this makes the label completely useless (have you bought a ladder lately? have you read the two dozen or so warning stickers?), but politicians are known for being handsome and charismatic, but also not the sharpest knives in the drawer. In "politician school" the words "unintended consequences" are never to be spoken. So basically you've get a bunch of empty suits making regulations that sound good ("We're protecting Californians against evil corporations who want to give you all cancer!") but are useless.

Me too...

When @turf3 said, "handsome and charismatic"...

I knew I was made for the job

None of you stand a chance, I’m “handsome and charismatic” and cute too.

That’s a big beautiful warning 🤦‍♂️
I don’t see a warning label on toothpicks 🤔

I wish that was funny. I just had surgery this week for skin cancer - waiting for biopsies of tissue and lymph nodes to learn what’s next.

Enjoy what you can while you can.

I had a full screening last week. One spot removed and out for biopsy. I’m not concerned. The doctors will probably kill me first with meds for migraines.

Hopefully you’ll be cleared 🤞. Be well my friend.

A new GP made an excuse to stop giving me med for migraines which actually meant you’re old and we’re saving money.
