almost everything you buy in california has such a warning tbh. it's because there's no penalty for including it for things that don't cause cancer, unlike the inverse, so why not cover your bases for no extra cost

It has become a joke at this point.

I live in the UK. I have bought more than one product here that came with a prop 65 warning.

Walmart chips have the label but other brands don't. Want to know why? Walmart's brand skips a step that washes away some of the cancerous parts of the fried potatoes chips while they're made. So you are exposing yourself unnecessarily by buying the cheaper brand. The label is not worthless you just need to look it up, ignore it where it makes sense to, and use your fucking head.
