Have you read the health warning in detail and disagree from an informed point of view or are you just generally opposed to regulation?
Even better, can you link the bike model and health warning and let others take a look at it for you? Or just your neighborhood chat bot :-)

So I’m in the clear. I’m pro good regulation. This warning is ridiculous and it’s plastered all over things in California such that it’s useless. Yes, there are toxic things on a bike. How many riders or their offspring were harmed as a result of them?
Annoying legislation is just... meh.
Now, what would be ideal if they would actually list the harmful chemicals and where exactly they are used. There are certifications that require that kind of disclosure and for people that do care, they're gold.
It’s a waste of time and money, so yes.
You can also search for studies that compare the societal cost/benefit of using a car vs a bicycle. The generally accepted conclusion is that cars have a cost while cycling has a benefit for society.
See, that's the thing... what "over-cautious warning label nonsense"? What are they actually warning about? Which chemicals/products?
I don't know about aloe extract, but pregnant women are also discouraged from taking aspirin.
Here's a random online store selling it, with a big warning for "usage during pregnancy and breastfeeding" (French only): https://lasante.net/nos-medicaments/douleurs-et-fievres/aspi...
Where I am, they all are known to cause birth defects. I never met woman with children that didn't take measures to avoid them (and a dozen of other products with similar effects) during pregnancy.
If you liken your bike to them, that's, uh. That's one hell of a bike. Probably should stay away from pregnant woman while riding it, huh
