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.

So read what you posted Scott - and to use your own words - no anecdotal
evidence allowed. Please provide the evidence of this "problem"...
