Seriously?

So there I am, enjoying some time with my 4 favorite girls on a Sunday afternoon at the mall.  I strolled into a gift shop to see what might catch my eye.  I found a couple of cute little round boxes with jewels on top.  I picked one up to examine it a little closer and found two tags attached to it.  One was from the company who distributes it.  The second one, much smaller, had a statement that said (I am paraphrasing) 'this item contains materials that have been known to cause cancer in California and may be associated with fertility issues'.  I admit that I reread it because I could not believe that it said that.  Sure enough, I had read it correctly.  I promptly put it back on the shelf and took some hand sanitizer out of my purse to clean my hands.  I then headed to the nearest restroom to wash my hands with warm water and soap.  I could not believe that a company would agree to distribute that contained such a warning.  What do you think?
