Buck 110 cancer warning

[plastid]

so i purchased a buck 110 today and it came with a leather sheath.

and on the back it shows a warning

dose anyone know if this is about the knife or the sheath or is it talking about the packaging?

Just don't take them internally and you'll be fine.

It looks worse than it is.

Just today, I was at a Western store and picked up a pair of Tony Lama boots with this same warning. It was the first time I had ever seen this warning.

The State of California recognizes that virtually everything causes cancer. If oxygen could hold a warning label, CA would warn about its cancer threat.

California puts a cancer warning label on absolutely everything that can have a label put on it... I've even seen them on the little airplane docking tunnels you walk through just before boarding a plane...

Can we just make this a sticky? I still find it hard to believe people are getting alarmed over these stickers.

It's just the standard everything causes cancer in California disclaimer, except for tax increases.:yawn:

I saw the same warning on copper wire. Could be the brass,
could just be California.

People, please, do your part in the fight against cancer. Stop eating knives.

It'll kill you only if you live in California. Canada is pretty safe.

so i guess its nothing to worry about?

I do not live in California right now, but I am a science graduate of the University of California at Berkeley (groovy) and am certified to teach Biology and Chemistry there. The main concern with knives is cleaning dirt, blood or other material from the knife using any cleaning solution that contains "dihydrogen monoxide".

Dihydrogen Monoxide (chemical formula HOH) is recognized as quite hazardous. Many sites on the Web will explain the dangers of dihyrogen monoxide and will explain why it should be regulated or even banned. You can't be too careful.

Yep. Every hotel I've stayed at in CA has the same warning at the door because the building "may contain" stuff "known to the state of California...".
