A wide range of products and businesses in California have scary looking Prop 65 warnings. Most restaurants have them posted. Just disregard it. They're internal California politicking, and don't represent a meaningful danger.
At one point, a group opposed to meat consumption tried to get a Prop 65 carcinogen warning stuck on all meat in California (though thankfully, that fell through.
One day, we will get our shit together in California, and you won't see stuff like this.
This is bullshit. Have they not heard of "the boy who cried wolf"? If they throw a meaningless label on everything warning about potential lead exposure, it loses meaning. Then once people learn to ignore these labels, suddenly nothing's stopping them from ingesting products that are actually contaminated with lead. Because, you know, we already made those labels meaningless.
Turns out everything has some association with cancer https://doi.org/10.3945/ajcn.112.047142
So when one group introduces a law saying we should label anything with a cancer risk, nobody can argue against it.... but once the law is in place, it's now a tool which people can use against their pet peeves, and since everything has some association with cancer, you get the label on everything.
This is why I've always been against "excess of caution." It reminds me of that spongebob episode where he breaks his butt and becomes a recluse to avoid danger. It's no way to live.
Even the term "excess" implies that it's too much, it's being taken too far.
There will always be risk. It can't be eliminated. We can mitigate it, but there's no sense in trying to minimize it beyond a reasonable degree. It will only create unforeseen issues. Such as making warning labels meaningless, resulting in people ignoring them even when they matter.
