What is the reason behind California cancer warning labels? Literally everything seems to be causing cancer. I just bought a few s2s maple boards from a local lumber supplier and each one had a sticker saying it’s known to the State of California to cause cancer. A maple board? There’s no treatment or paint on it. It’s just a milled and poorly planed piece of lumber.

You can sell products in the US until they are scientifically tested and proven to be dangerous, the FDC then decides if your product needs a label, or other limitation, or ban. This happens after the fact that people got hurt or scammed. In other nations incl the EU, you need to first have your product tested and proven to be harmless to legally sell it and it gets a CE mark on it. The US laws protects industry first, in EU laws protects the individual/public first.
