An Inclusive Litany
10/8/02
The Orange County Register reports on the proliferation of
"bounty hunter lawsuits" seeking compliance with California's
Proposition 65, which mandates warning labels on all hazardous
chemicals. Targeted products have included chocolate, playground sand,
picture frames, lightbulbs, Christmas lights, electrical tape, braces,
game darts, stained-glass lamps, fire logs, gasoline (which emanates
gas-pump fumes), exercise weights, hammers, tools, terrariums, cue
chalk, cosmetics, and Slim-Fast.
