I wish a manufacturerer would grow a pair and just tell Calif to FO and

FYI, california has more than 10% of the US market for anything. A manufacturer

My revelation was when CA said that sodium chloride and bradykinin caused
cancer.

Not really. if it cost more for them to sell their products there vs the

I'd rather have a 90% no hassle market share than 10% with strings
It's like a customer you can NEVER satisfy, at some point you just have to
get rid of them and accept the losses and move on.
Besides that, you can only cry wolf so many times before people just tune it
out and just don't listen anymore.

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.

Bradykinin is a physiological substance generated in everyone's body.
Nevertheless, I distinctly recall a cancer warning label on a bottle of
the peptide we bought from Sigma. However, right now the MSDS for this
nonapeptide says (apparently someone pointed it out to them):
California Prop. 65 Components
This product does not contain any chemicals known to State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects, or any other reproductive harm.

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.

Yep, I used to work in the specialty coffee industry. There is a whole
bunch of Italian espresso manufacturers who refuse to sell their machines in
the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia. Many individual Health Departments
passed regulations that the local health department had to "approve" of each
espresso machine in that county. This approval had to take place on a
county by county basis. They would have to pay for each county "approval".
Like the morons in Kalifornia knew more about espresso machines than the
Italian manufacturers. It was a ploy to get lots of money for "Espresso
Machine Approvals". Many of the espresso machine manufacturers recognized a
shakedown when they saw it. They now sell their machine in every state
EXCEPT Kalifornia. Only Kalifornia would do such nonsense.

I was working for a publication at the time and asked a number of
individuals why they were putting up the money to get such an approval.
They talked about how it was challenging and they would derive much
satisfaction in getting the local health department "approval". Totally
demented and stupid. And totally Kalifornia. These stupid people have to
pay much more for products and receive less service, compliments of an
oppressive state and county government who wants to meddle in all kinds of
affairs that serve no useful purpose. Kalifornians deserve each other.

Solid brass is one of a dozen alloys of copper, tin, lead, optionally with iron or arsenic.

Lead is not a die lube, it is integral to the alloy and it leaches, which is bad.

Solid brass fitting until 1/1/2010 had up to 4% lead content. Manufacturers have reduced
that to 0.25%, which means you'll no longer see prop 65 warnings on plumbing fittings anymore.

warning labels like you do the first twenty pages of all machine
manuals. Y'know, the pages with the canny warnings on them, like:

WARNING: DO NOT PLUG INto 120V WHILE STANDING IN A RUNNING SHOWER!

I often see shipping comments that a product cannot be shipped to AL,
Hi, or CA.

When you have the facts, use them.

When you don't have the facts, keep throwing crap on the wall until
you can get something to stick.

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.

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.

scott



And if poison is use as a die lube ,,,,,, As I mention in another post,
Solid Brass


Solid brass is one of a dozen alloys of copper, tin, lead, optionally with iron or arsenic.

Lead is not a die lube, it is integral to the alloy and it leaches, which is bad.

Solid brass fitting until 1/1/2010 had up to 4% lead content. Manufacturers have reduced
that to 0.25%, which means you'll no longer see prop 65 warnings on plumbing fittings anymore.

That one went way over your head, No need to reply as that will cause
cancer if you live in California.

demented and stupid. And totally Kalifornia. These stupid people have to
pay much more for products and receive less service, compliments of an
oppressive state and county government who wants to meddle in all kinds
of affairs that serve no useful purpose. Kalifornians deserve each other.


And the sheer extent of that inherent stupidity is manifested by their
propensity to flee the economic consequences of their self inflicted
meddling by moving to another state, only to immediately, and loudly,
begin to advocate inflicting, upon their new state, the very
governmental meddling that they just fled.

Texas is suddenly overrun with the assholes ... CO has already been
polluted into submission.

None of them had anything to do with prop65.

California has more restrictive gun laws than other states. So what, it's
their choice (and had you lived in East LA, or Oakland, you'd understand why).

I'm done with this.
