Yes, you read it right! Plywood scenery may be hazardous to your health. At least according to the labeling I recently found on some plywood from Lowes.
They took away our Vermiculite containing asbestos, oil paints, glues that smelled awesome, and now plywood?? What next? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

They gonna start restricting the amount of ozone our miniature motors produce??:eek:
 
They'll retract that in a few years and say, "actually it wasn't the chemically treated wood - it's the excessive green vegetables and lack of red meats. but continue not ironing cloths while you're wearing them."
 


It's a proposition 65 warning which was approved by voters in California...the same warning is posted in front of supermarkets. That plywood does contain chemicals that cause cancer in mice. But, I bet you can sprinkle the saw dust on a dozen hot dogs, eat em up, and be alright. Just a bunch of lawyer junk.

I live in CA, eat plenty of red meats, love my guns too. And my only vehicles have 4 WD. I think you may be generalizing a little bit. If you started making those sterotypical statements about some races or nations people may look at you differently.
But, I guess its California, so its ok to poke fun at it. ;)

I think not having the labeling would/could enable some litigation, from folk who think like that. Label limits the liability.


Build that layout and post some pictures of your progress.

Yes it does. Hot dogs don't have the label, but nitrates cause cancer. Just one of them things I guess.

Eventually there will be a label on beds. Warning, use at your own risk. It is known that many people die in their sleep.
 


A high intake of burnt, smoked, salted, fermented or pickled foods are also carcinogenic even celery. Moderation, moderation, moderation.

I was poking fun at the changes we've seen over the years. What is claimed to be good for us or bad for us. One year we're told something is terrible and to avoid it - the next year they recant and say actually it's good and we should eat lots of it. Whatever it takes to sell more ads.

And the warning labels they put on things are horrible. You can find huge lists of them online. Just crazy stuff.
 
I work in a sawmill in CA. We are exposed to tons of sawdust daily. I know of one person in the last 20 years that developed cancer that worked there. They put those labels on things after a test rat developed cancer after they stuffed it with something at 1000 times the normal exposure level. Some of them are way bad for you, and some are bad if you eat a truckload a day. It's mostly just bureaucratic crap.
 
petev i was up in your neck of the woods, i went to dolly copp campground to spread my moms ashes since my grandparents are spread up there , it was beautiful day , no clouds & i got to see the imp from the campground for the first time in years
 


It is a beautiful place, I cant speak to the southern portion of the state, but where I live, it is amazingly beautiful. Very similar to NH actually. I used to do a lot of hiking up in NH, I was born on the east coast. Where I live is fairly similar to NH...except the trees are bigger, and so are the mountains. It lacks the history that NH has, well...European history. The oldest home in my county was built around the civil war.
