Yeah, and California has statements cancer warnings plastered on
everything. Doesn't make it true.

Only on substances that are known to the medical world to cause
or influence the progression of cancer or other adverse conditions.

The trouble is that according to the state of
californica just about every substance known to
man is "known to the medical world to cause or
influence the progression of cancer or ther
adverse conditions".

I mean in the real world how many people have
gotten cancer from electrical cords?

In over thirty years living in California, I've never seen
an electrical cord with a prop 65 notice. I have seen
brass plumbing fittings which are alloyed with lead marked
with the prop 65 notice.



It is about the consumer
having enough information to make informed choices. You may
discount the evidence at will, nobody is forcing you to read
the notice. Feel free use all the lead pipe you want for
your drinking water - clearly there isn't any problem with it
in Pennsylvania - Lead must work differently there than everywhere
else.

When everything you see has a warning label on
it, the warning label no longer provides
information.

See, here is where your logic fails, since everything
_doesn't_ have a warning label.
