Reading the comments here it strikes me that apparently noone agrees with this decision as apparently in California a lot of products seem to carry such cancer warnings. I'm not living in California, but is this true, do you have examples? Just curious.

Many building in California, including apartments, will carry the warning label if they were built before a certain year and if lead paint may have been used inside in the past. Even if the lead paint has been removed.

Many fast food drive thrus will have the sticker on the drive thru window due to the preservatives used in some of the food and the components used in the cooking process.

Disneyland has signs bearing the warning through out the park.

This was a voter passed proposition, which changed our constitution to require this signage.

The proposition wasn’t super well written, and it quickly became apparent that basically everything has to be labeled as possibly causing cancer. Unfortunately, since it’s in our constitution, it’s nearly impossible to change now.

The only winner here is the lawyers.
