Yep it has even touched us in the 51st state Aust. :)
I purchased an item the other day, can't remember what it was but I do recall that the packaging had something similar to the following.
"Attention this item may contain products that are considered harmful to your health in the State of California"
Shit, I sure am glad that it only effects people living there. ;)

  Yep, the exact wording is, "Warning: this item contains [or may contain,
depending on the product] products that are known by the state of
California to cause cancer"   This warning is getting out of control to the
point that manufacturers are putting it on just about everything they sell.
i.e, the warning is now totally useless and meaningless -- law of
unintended consequences strikes again.


Sort of like the warning here in Oz.
"Not suitable for children under 3" or "Not suitable for children under 3, may contain small parts"
This is on every toy you buy, even those obviously meant for small baby's and children under 3.
It's a crazy mixed up world ;)
