    I didn't know this about electronics so I looked it up and its true.

    That state is F*****g NUTS. Bought a receiver for a trailer hitch over the weekend. There was a sticker on it that said that it contained material known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, etc..

    I've seen the same sticker on garden hoses and water sprinklers. What are the people in Ca. doing with these things?

    Ya that sticker is in a lot of places here in California: Starbucks, Ross, lots of retail stores. Most people just ignore it because it, it is everywhere. It came about from a Proposition that was passed awhile back.
