All of my fishing weights and some lures have these warnings. It’s because of lead. I certainly don’t put them in my mouth and neither should you.

Shower heads are very concerning. Never seen those warnings.



view as:

Lead isn't particularly known as a carcinogen, but a neurotoxin. I guess it might be, but is it "known to the state of California"?

The things I noticed that almost all had California warnings were shovels, rakes, etc. I don't really know why these would need to have lead in them, if that's what it was.

I did buy a shower head, and I did buy one without the warning. But, I also thought - maybe this one has as much or more carcinogens as the cheap ones, but it doesn't have a label simply because it's not sold in California?
