according to page 91 of the user guide to the new pantech px-500 wireless aircard the company states:

"This product contains a chemical known to the state of california to cause cancer.

This product contains a chemical known to the state of california to cause birth defects and other reproductive harm"

Known to the state of California, woo hoo. Remember cell phones also put microwaves in your brain. And cause cancer. And tumors. And anything else than can come up with to bitch about.

There are chemicals in almost all electronics that cause cancer. If you crack them open, melt them down and ingest them. California has some pretty ridiculous lableing requirements.

Yeah...

Their standards are so ridiculuous that more often then not other states follow their lead, and it often becomes Federal law.

Less Faux News mkay?

Bwaahahahhaha!

Most excellent post, and a sharp eye. Commendation on both.

I printed it out and put it on my manager's desk with a big skull & crossbones. Can't wait to see her face in the morning.

So the moral of the story is to not eat your aircard because it causes birth defects? Hmm, good advice. I'll have to remember that next time I forget to bring my lunch to work

It's because it contains parts made with lead. CA requires that warning on any product containing lead. Check your most recently purchased piece of electronics. Somewhere it will have that same warning, usually on a tag on the electric cord.

Yup! Among other things. There is also a trace of Dioxin and other things. But you would have to, again, boil the parts down, and then strain off liquids and probably do that several times before you could get enough to do any damage.

Do you feel the same way about the Dioxin presnet in your shampoo and other cosmetic related products?

Yes, actually I do. The likelyhood of something untoward happening to me by way of my shampoo is so small compared to the likelyhood of getting killed in a car crash, that I don't worry about it at all. If I worried about all the tiny little chance of something bad happening to me, I wouldn't have time to watch my kids play ball or be part of my friends and families lives.

You, my friend, besides being insulting and miniscule, are exactly the kind of person they were talking about on that 20/20 episode I was talking about. And are therefore not worth worrying with or about.

lol... And I just mispelled a word, it still meant the same thing, dig spelled another word correctly and used it to mean something completly different. But it's all good. I can take a little ribbing.

I can take it, alej, it's okay. I prefer that to plooky any day. And I expect it, I should have hit the spellchecker button, but I was in a hurry to deal with a custy.

Interesting position.

Especially when one considers dioxins, along with some others, are the most toxic substances known to man.

Product safety has taken a backseat to increasing stock value and product shelf-life.

If it has a battery that is other than disposeable it will say that. It has absolutely noting to do with radio waves or it being a cellphone. In fact almost everything electronic has some component that is made of carcinogens (that means cancer causing for you dumba$$es).
