Completely off topic but...
Does the Stanley cup have a sticker saying the product might cause cancer in the state of California?
Also why does every product I see potential cause cancer in the state of California only?
That is all. I'm too lazy to Google the question but thought I would annoy someone about it here.
Thank you.
California just has laws in place that requires items that have potential carcinogens to be labeled. That's it.
Well, that and their bar for what qualifies is really low. If a single study shows that a chemical agent may cause cancer in animals, it will be listed. It doesn't actually have to be confirmed. Also, in many cases, manufacturers will simply put the label on their products by default to avoid being sued in California because it would cost them more to verify whether it contains one of the many listed chemicals or not. As such, the labels have largely become noise at this point.
California law. proposition 65
Basically, they have a list of things “known to the state of California to cause cancer”. If a material on that list is used in a product, that product needs to have a “proposition 65” warning label in order to be sold in CA.
Which, since everything is a polluted mess, basically everything is on that list.
The bubble that regulates the weather at Disneyland has weird interactions with certain items, so California has to warn people.x
