Why doesn't California just put out a blanket statement that anything
can cause cancer but only in California. :-)

Please point out a single example of a warning label that doesn't apply to
a known toxin. No anecdotal evidence allowed, you must show that the chemical
(or chemical residue) being warned about is not part of the labelled item.

Solid Brass fittings.



To enhance the machinability of brass, lead is often added in concentrations of around 2%.
Since lead has a lower melting point than the other constituents of the brass, it tends to
migrate towards the grain boundaries in the form of globules as it cools from casting.
The pattern the globules form on the surface of the brass increases the available lead
surface area which in turn affects the degree of leaching. In addition, cutting operations
can smear the lead globules over the surface. These effects can lead to significant lead
leaching from brasses of comparatively low lead content

You'll need to try better.
