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.

As many have said, it is safer to label everything for companies.
On a side not though, technically the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) only classifies one substance as a group 4 carcinogen meaning it is probably not carcinogenic to humans. Caprolactum.
Everything else is either group 3 (Unclassifiable as to carcinogenicity in humans) or higher.
