A neighbor of mine has a business importing products from Ireland and then selling them to distributors of various kinds. One of his distributors sells through Wal-Mart's online marketplace program, which being online, is accessible by CA residents.
Turns out there's a cottage industry in CA finding and filing complaints against Prop65 "violators". The way Prop65 is written, shit rolls uphill with virtually no limitation and my neighbor in Maryland is dealing with a Prop65 complaint because he sold imported product to a distributor that has sold said product online to CA residents without the necessary Prop65 warning.
It's a shakedown racket. Absolutely ridiculous.

I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888

Simple solution is to not sell into CA, regardless of market size, unless of course your company makes Government Warning Labels, then you'd be missing the bulk of the business

My company has plans for a new 49 state legal product without a CARB approved version for California. If they can't fall in with the EPA on federal regs and insist on going their own way over and above the EPA, they can do without.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Lefty Sig,

When is the big one supposed to hit so that that blankety- blank commie state can and will just slide off into the pacific ocean and the survivors (if any) can become their own 3rd world country that we will not recognize. .................. drill sgt.

Here is my idea what California can do with their warning.
quote:
WARNING: The the State of California contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause Cancer and Brain Damage. Entry into this State can lead to Cancer, mental deficits, and loss of the ability to have rational thoughts.
I've stopped counting.

File that under "most useless piece of legislation/initiative every passed."
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Sometimes I read that shit on the most innocuous items I'm looking at, just for the laugh, it's truly insane and reminds me how insanely stupid (or worse) governments can get.
