Coffee Drinkers Need Cancer Warning, California Judge Rules

Proposition 65 is insane. They even put a sign about it at Disneyland [0], and at fast food places that sells fries [1] because of the potatoes in it.

This video is a good short explainer of the law: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fun9BVEPP5E

Yet another reason to avoid doing business in California. California's regulations is like starting a business in a foreign country, even though they are still part of the US.

I think these warnings are insane and seeing them so often if you live in California you probably would just ignore them. I first found out about it when I noticed a label on the shovel in the shed mentioning cancer. I was like wtf, how can a shovel cause cancer. So looked it up and found out about this law.

Companies put these labels on it to be on the safe side, and since usually one factory making items for the whole US then people who live outside of California sees this label too. Plus testing your items and stuff can be complicated, so many companies just slab the label on everything even if it doesn't contain a item on the list because as long as they have the label they are covered legally.

Sounds like a bunch of other organizations disagree with California. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRv75LWOX2k

If I owned a coffee business I'd just charge people in California 50% more. If they want these insane labels, charge them a premium for it!
