California cancer labels

1.40K viewsOther

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.

I just want to drop this 99% Invisible episode that did a good big dive into how we got here with Prop65. Ultimately it means super well, but sloppy business practices of throwing it on everything have undermined it
