As long as the labels don’t end up on absolutely everything like in California.
It makes sense on things you actually consume, but a lot of other tech products and tools have the California warnings and it’s become meaningless to me.
I have no way of knowing if just holding a thing increases my risk of cancer or if it’s just an issue if I was to lick a surface or consume something inside. I mean, aluminum apparently causes cancer?!?What can I even do with that information?
Edit: I read the wrong list, Aluminum is fine but other metals like Lead and Nickel are bad. The problem is the labels don’t tell you what the danger is. Does the product have a literal lead weight inside that you’ll never touch? Or is the outside coated in one of the other 600 cancer causing chemicals?

Crazy that wood dust is on there. That explains why basically all IKEA furniture “may cause cancer”

I suspect part of how annoying those labels feel is us being a little unsettled by just how many things around us might be killing us.
