I think I'm about to make national waves.
Today we bought our kids a play thing and after I got it home found a little itty bitty warning buried on the back: "WARNING: this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer."
WHAT??
First of all, it only causes cancer in California? Yeah, right.
Second, how can this be safe and acceptable for kids to play with?
The packaging is clearly geared towards kids and is made for use by kids. Its also sold nationwide and I got it at Toys R Us.
I went to the manufacturers website and found the product data sheet on it. Warnings all over. It says its only dangerous with multiple exposures and single exposure is ok.
HUH?? How many kids play with a toy once?
It even mentions that distributors and salespeople be trained to warn customers of the possible risks. I was not warned.
So I am gathering all the info I can now and am thinking about contacting everyone. The company, TV Investigators, consumer protection agencies, elected officials, etc. Anyone I can find.
Is that going too far or would you be a little concerned and/or ticked off?
