It's far _worse_ than that.
California has "citizen's initiatives", whereby *anything* can get put on the ballot, and approved by the voters, is enacted into law.
*REGARDLESS* of the sanity, or lack thereof, of the proposal._That_ is, in fact, where all the Calif. warning notices come from.
One such citizens initiative required the cancer warning notice on any object sold in California that had _any_ amount (_one_ atom's worth, in a hundred ton object is sufficient to require the warning) of any material that is a 'known' carcinogen.
Hence, you find the warning on step-ladders, hammers, etc.
It is virtually to find _any_ manufactured object for sale in California without that warning label. As such, the warnings are useless, and actually have a -negative- value, since things with a 'significant' risk factor are indistinguishable from the vast swamp of things with an absolutely insignificant/immaterial, (but not absolutely zero) risk.
The 'appropriate' response to this kind of enforced silliness is for manufacturers to to provide 'yet another' warning label. Same type face, font size, same coloration, same overall-size, etc., that states:
