You should visit the website that's on the sticker. For those of you that haven't seen the sticker, start with https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/what-proposition-65

It's the way the sunshine hits most products.
The radiation causes the products to react and then are likely to cause cancer.
California is the sunniest state, which is why it's known as the Sunshine State.
Other states don't get as much sun, so the products are safe to use outside of California

I always thought that was kinda funny too.

At work I regularly have to use a 6mm Allen Key to make adjustments on the machine that I work on. Whenever I grab a new one it says on the packaging that it may cause cancer in California.

Cali has a law that makes them put it on there. Other states don't. If other states had the same law they would do the same. You can close the topic now

Why doesn't New York have this law? They are just as over legislated as Cali.
It's more likely that New York gets less sun. Buffalo was the gloomiest city in 2020 with over 180 days of cloud cover.
California cities get way more sun.

Probably not the sticker. More likely the adhesive. It's gets all hot in the California sun and releases farret moans that cause cancer.

I was shopping for a couch recently and there was a warning on it that WOOD has been known to cause cancer...
California is beyond help at this point.

Prop 65 is real. Its intended as a way to keep people informed.

Wood itself is not a carcinogen (unless it burns), but the chemicals used to treat it for furniture and other uses are.

This particular warning said "wood dust". That's more of a worry for the carpenter that made it, not the consumer. Unless they put the wood dust in the cushions or something equally stupid.

The best part about it is, if there is an actual product that will guarantee to cause cancer, they just slap on that sticker like everything else and just like everything else, the consumer has already learned to completely ignore the sticker.

California is one huge case study of unintended consequences.
