Maybe they should put a warning label on cars too, "Warning: May collide with children."
know the risks, people!
they should put a warning label on pens. "Warning: May stab in eye"
While not strictly required, where i live you get to shave off a few months between the first and second levels of your license if you take lessons, and a required part of those lessons is watching an uncensored video on the consequences of drunk driving, speeding in school zones and not respecting semis. It left quite the impression.
I have about had it with this safety/nanny culture.
Need to start putting warnings on bureaucrats instead stating, Will waste your tax money, and micromanage your life.
Research has shown that warning labels on dangerous products such as cigarettes reduces deaths so it’s clearly not a waste of money.
What's next a warning label on breathing? Warning, failure to inhale and exhale will cause oxygen deprivation and death?
That’s a false equivalence and a strawman made into a sentence.
As long as the labels don't end up on absolutely everything like in California. It makes sense on things you actually consume, but a lot of other tech products and tools have the California warnings and it's become meaningless to me.
I have no way of knowing if just holding a thing increases my risk of cancer or if it's just an issue if I was to lick a surface or consume something inside. ~~I mean, aluminum apparently causes cancer?!?~~ ~~What can I even do with that information?~~
Edit: I read the wrong list, Aluminum is fine but other metals like Lead and Nickel are bad. The problem is the labels don't tell you what the danger is. Does the product have a literal lead weight inside that you'll never touch? Or is the outside coated in one of the other 600 cancer causing chemicals? (https://oehha.ca.gov/media/downloads/proposition-65//p65chemicalslist.pdf)
Crazy that wood dust is on there. That explains why basically all IKEA furniture "may cause cancer"
The idea that putting labels on every bottle is about "letting Canadians know and informing them better", is flat out horseshit.
That's what education campaigns are for. Putting labels on every bottle is about reminding / nagging people every single time they try and enjoy having a drink to try and make them enjoy it less and change their behaviour.
You can be on board with that or not, but let's stop lying with the 'its about education' comments.
