The label can cause cancer in California.

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.

(my only concern with the warning labels is the 'cried wolf' syndrome
vis-a-vis
extremely low concentration levels).

It's not just "cry wolf" with low concentration levels, it's that
everything, whether there's anything carcinogenic in it or not, has a
warning label so the label becomes meaningless.
