Funny thing.... it was supposed to result in safer products as manufactures tried to remove those things from their products to avoid having to put a "scary" label on it. And in some cases it worked. But at this point, these warnings are on so many things just to cover their *** just in case, that it's become a joke and people just don't even care anymore. IMO, it no longer has any value or effect.
And stuff like this is why the rest of the country looks at California and rolls their eyes and shake their head...
