Title: Kalifornia the Nanny State.
Post by: Jaydawg on June 05, 2010, 07:21:31 AM

Was doing some EDC bag (ie man purse) shopping online and came across this warning for CA residents:

(http://a1512.g.akamaitech.net/f/1512/124/1h/images.ebags.com/s.gif)      California Proposition 65  Attention California Residents:
California's Proposition 65 entitles California consumers to special   warnings for products that contain chemicals known to the state of   California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm   if those products expose consumers to such chemicals above certain   threshold levels.
  We hope that the information below helps with your purchasing decisions. 
The general Proposition 65 notice is as follows:
WARNING: Products in the categories below may contain chemicals known   to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other   reproductive harm.
 

• Products made with Fabric, Leather, Vinyl, Foam, Synthetic   and Non-woven Material
• Batteries and/or Products that contain batteries
• Beauty Products (including first-aid kits and   lotions)

  In addition, there are specific warnings for products in the   following categories:
Electrical Cords (may be found on some travel   accessories)
California requires the following notice:
WARNING: The wires of some products may contain   chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth   defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
Beauty Products (containing progesterone)
California requires the following notice on beauty and skin care   products that contain progesterone:
WARNING: Certain beauty products may contain   progesterone, a chemical known to the State of California to cause   cancer. Consult with your physician before using this product.
For a complete listing, visit www.oehha.org/prop65.html (http://www.oehha.org/prop65.html)

That's pretty much everything you use.  :shakehead:   What a waste of government/legislative time.
