just got a kitchen tool at the store
turns out it has a prop 65 warning on the back
now i have to melt the handle off at night so as not to annoy the neighbors and make a handle out of wood
this could have been avoided by simply making it with a wood handle
r words
you know that manufacturers put this warning on everything because it's easier to do that than check the kalifornia list o' bad things.
yea but like what if they actually did properly match it
whatever finish you put on the wooden handle will be cancerous as well.
beeswax and linseed oil?
you know that it gets put on everything for liability (making it useless) right?
>you know that it gets put on everything for liability (making it useless) right?
Making what useless? the tool or the finish, and in either case what are you claiming.
No the WARNING, you dunce. They stick it on everything. All the real dangerous stuff gets to hide behind the same label as bubblegum and tuna fish - which undermines the whole point.
Pretty sure that's exactly the point
ive heard enough moronic old men say this without seeing any evidence that im willing now to call bullshit
They do actually put it on everything. You'll even see it on food items like green tea and wasabi peas because some plants are naturally more likely to absorb trace amounts of heavy metals from soil, and the companies slap the label on to cover their asses regardless of whether what the warning refers to is at a safe (negligible level) or not. Any utensil with plastic, especially that is used around food at potentially high heat, is going to have that label because moronic use (like burning it) could release some level of cancerous shit even if normal use is okay.
You're a moronic Black person. The reason Prop 65 warnings are on EVERYTHING is because that dumbass law made it so unless you prove, with laboratory certified testing, that every single chemical and material in your product is objectively not cancerous and you don't warn people you can be held liable.
Well guess what? Nobody is going to pay the money for that because its completely insane. What's the free alternative? Slap their dumbass wanting label on it that says idk maybe cancer inside not my problem. Californians are moronic
be carefull beech wood dust causes lung cancer, and other hard woods do as well.
boiled lindseed oil contains cobalt, managnese driers which can be cancerous to.
>everything causes cancer
consider for a moment that this may actually be incorrect
>i have to melt the handle off
that's what will give you cancer

>this could have been avoided by simply making it with a wood handle
Ahem:

California hate is not grounded on logical thinking, so much as thinly veiled envy.
I don’t think people envy a state that has outlawed gas cars but doesn’t have a power grid capable of charging the small minority of electric cars they have right now.
I like living in Florida where the trees don’t cause cancer.
Most laws in California are ignored
Did you know it’s illegal to hire illegal immigrants in California… well frick 2/3rds of the workforce in the state would disappear overnight
It’s illegal to text and drive in California , how many people do you see looking at their phones while on the freeway, 80-90%?
We have cops here but their main task is generating revenue for the state not enforcing laws.
Illegal migrant raped a chick? He’s broke let it slide
Employed black accountant got in a bar fight? Get his ass
>envy
Envious of what? The suffocating regulations, or the people shitting on sidewalks?
Picrel is the appropriate response, anon.
Is it polished stainless steel? Polishing compound is p65
Get brushed stainless tools, more expensive… brushed textures show flaws or where the kid fricked up deburring
Parts are polished to hide flaws that’s why you see them at tjmaxx
uhhhhhhhh idk
like uhh i think the steel has like ridges running up it. it doesnt seem polished. can u give example of polished vs brushed steel? thats more for smooth flat surfaces rite
lioke i have a sharpening stone and metal files so ill just return it for now
ill keep that in mind tho.
in california, the literal cure for cancer would be required to have that logo
