That's pretty interesting; I ha...Thanks, Fred! That's pretty interesting; I had no idea CA had such a law (and still have no idea why a hardware store in Seattle has stickers from it). And here I figured that the screws were depleted uranium or something like that. It does seem a tad ridiculous to be labeling a chunk of plastic you touch as carcinogenic. I'd be more worried about the non-stick pans I'll get out after touching those latches and put on dry, high heat and scrape clean with a metal spatula, but those didn't come with warnings.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603304553367090790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195389764777248385.post-83023989680742946152011-09-29T06:04:58.312-07:002011-09-29T06:04:58.312-07:00Ah, here it is:

My understanding is that they are required on anything that has constituent parts that could be carcinogenic, even if those chemicals have been combined with other materials and rendered chemically inert.<br /><br />My favorite is when you rent a car in CA, they have a sign up with that same text behind the counter, referring to the car.<br /><br />'Cause, you know, gasoline.
