I too have been concerned about those "Known to cause cancer in the state of
California." As a warning sign they're pretty useless.
Reminds me of high school chemistry class where old Mr. Black would put
warnings on all the chemicals, the one with the most dire warnings was good old
H2O. He warned about drowning, heart attacks from shoveling snow, the danger of
electrolyte imbalance and I don't remember what else, dude had a very dry sense
of humor.
