Default California Proposition 65 Warning Now they gone to far

So I'm remodeling my bathroom and I"m replacing my toilet with a new one. I open the box and there is a Prop 65 warning label on the bowl. It said, (Using this product may cause cancer in the state of California). I dropped to the floor laughing. They now have gone to far. I would think the fumes coming out of the bowl would be more harmful then sitting on the product. I can wait until California tries to ban the gas engine for use in they state and auto racing. After that New York won't be far behind them.

You should follow their guidance on this. They know what is best for you, you do not!

It’s California.....the land of fruits, nuts and flakes, especially in the state government!

I got in sway bushings for a Corvette this week. Yellow warning label says the same, can cause cancer.
They tasted fine to me.

They’ve got that warning posted on every office building in the state, too. Several years ago, I bought my wife a crystal vase that had a warning sticker, too. When I asked the sales lady about it, she said “you know - crazy California.”

I heard they're working on a emission pill for that.

Comes with a cancer warning label.

The weed comes with a cancer curing label.

The weed has a much better shot at curing cancer than the toilet seat has of causing it. I'll defend California in some cases, but prop 65 is a bit silly. Sure, put it on Round-up. But its on everything.

In a related story, extensive use of Goo-Gone may cause cancer.

You don't realize how right you actually are.....current Governor Gruesome has slated all internal combustion engines banned in this state by 2030, and wants to ban gas stoves, heaters, and ovens as well. Natural gas! Liberals just don't think like the rest of us who are simply trying to make a life for ourselves.

" It said, (Using this product may cause cancer in the state of California)."

So only if used in the state of California...it's ok to use elsewhere. I'm glad I'm elsewhere.

Yes, if taken internally or touched. Next everyone in California will be required to wear a Hazmat suit. Fart in that if you dare. LOL

BTW, I took a required hazmat course for a super fund project I worked at and it was, to say the least, an eye opener on what's out there that's not so good for us all. Hazmat suit included. And yes, we are poisoning our planet. Those frogs in the roadway at night that glowed in the dark were proof of that.

That's what I thought. So now they need labels for the labels and while they are at it, labels for those labels. I could never end.

Has it ever ended Bruce? No and it won't..... not in my lifetime.

BTW... that was a fully enclosed Hazmat suit with an air pack that was good for 15 to 20 minutes. Breathing time depended on how hard you worked at saving air.
