My drill bits cause cancer?

Maybe it's just the folks who reside in CA and not so much the product. And, No, James - I missed that movie. However, I've seen others and that fellow has a real warped sense of reality.

Probably because peanuts are a legume whereas nuts are a fruit.

FYI, Peanuts Aren't Even Nuts, And THIS Is How They Really Grow
It's probably not what you think.

The average American eats three pounds of peanut butter a year ― that’s a whole lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Most of those peanut butter consumers know that the beloved spread is made from ground peanuts, but do you know how those peanuts grow? Have you ever even thought about it?

Peanuts, unlike almonds and walnuts, do not grow on trees. They’re actually not nuts at all, but legumes like peas and lentils ― and they grow in the ground.

A year or so ago, a coworker bought a bag of dried ginger which had the prop 65 warning sticker. We buy dried ginger from CostCo and I had been giving the coworker ginger when she wanted some. She saw the sticker and we looked at the Costco bag, which surprisingly, did not have the stupid sticker. She called up the company and they said they put the sticker on the bag so they can sell in CA.

The list of ingredients was the same on both bags and they were pretty benign. The worst ingredient was sugar. I guess sugar could cause cancer, it sure causes problems if one eats too much, so maybe CA should just ban sugar...

Peanuts are neither colored or shaped like peas, and do not taste like them or grow above ground like them. They are not a nut either. So we named them peanuts. Silly English language.

California propositions come from the people (special interest groups). A bunch of signatures and it gets put on the ballet. Then lots of money for scare tactics ads. Spook the sheeple to vote and you get prop 65 cancer warning stickers on everything.

Other places where the bureaucrats and scientists actually know reality make the regulations you get less of this sky is falling labels.

I read California introduces over 1,000 new laws every January 1st! No bull. I had to double check to see if it was true, and it is. Simply amazing.

Yet you are a lot more apt to have a peanut allergy than from tree nuts.... and unlikely to have the latter unless you are also allergic to the former.

Down South they are known as Goober Peas.

Don't worry about it, it only causes cancer in California. But, when in California....don't touch or eat anything, it's one big cancer ball!

Prop 65 escapees to other states after a rare CA snow..

Just bought and installed an in-line electric lamp switch...it had the same warning. What, did they think the buyer was going to suck on the thing instead of install in on the lamp cord? In any case, a set of instructions would have been much more helpful, in spite of the fact that installation appeared to be intuitive. Thank goodness for online How-to-do-it videos!

Now you are going to have Ca. renamed "The land of fruits, nuts,and legumes".
