Fluker's clamp lamp contains "chemicals that cause cancer and birth defects"?

[Luvyna]

It's California everything is either against the law or causes cancer.

LOL

I'm a label-reader & I've seen this plenty of times on various products. I'm trying to remember the exact (CA gov't) website you can go to & look stuff up...you
might also try contacting Fluker's & ask them specifically what the label is referring to? You might have to chew on the lamp to be harmed, or something?
I do pay attention to all such warnings, & I'm glad you do to...just wish I knew what this specific one is referring to...off-hand, I don't.

Contacting them is a good idea, I think I will do that. I did some more research and found that California now requires manufacturers to also state what specific carcinogenic chemical the product contains, which would be a lot more helpful than this vague and worrying message lol.

I also appreciate that they try to warn people, but I wonder if this has the unintended side effect of desensitizing people to these warnings judging by the responses here and the ones I've found online. At least listing the specific chemicals is an improvement so people can make choices if there's a specific chemical they want to avoid.

as a former Californian i know this to be true. they even have similar warnings on the lil packs of red peppers and cheese that comes w/ delivery pizzas lol. my friend bought a car from California and had it shipped on a train or whatever and yep, the car came w/ a cancer warning sticker lol.

Well... I guess our modern reality is that everything causes cancer...
