    “Everything in California including California is known to the state of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.”

    I’m not saying it shouldn’t be there at all, but at least wish it was a bit more like Material Safety Data Sheets that gives a bit more understanding to what you’re getting into by interacting with various things.
