This is bullshit. Have they not heard of “the boy who cried wolf”? If they throw a meaningless label on everything warning about potential lead exposure, it loses meaning. Then once people learn to ignore these labels, suddenly nothing’s stopping them from ingesting products that are actually contaminated with lead. Because, you know, we already made those labels meaningless.

I don’t disagree. I’m not justifying the policy, just telling you not to panic when you see one.

  Yeah, let me start disregarding that label because they’ve made it meaningless. And then when I get lead poisoning for ignoring the label on the wrong thing, I won’t be able to hold anyone accountable because “it had a warning label”…
