Rinse your car and get cancer at the same time!!!1

[getcha]

I was looking for another 50 or 100 ft garden hose to carry along on details and everyone(and I have no idea how I noticed the first one) had on the packaging something like " Attention this product contains material known in the state of California to cause cancer. Wash your hands well after use." I guess my 2 questions are who has noticed this before and well are there any hoses that dont cause cancer?? ***?

Everything causes cancer in the land of the fruits, nuts and flakes.

I know it say it with anything with brass connected to it.

Fortunately, the other 49 states don`t know that it causes cancer yet.

It`s because of the lead in the brass (leaded brass). CA requires anything with lead to be marked in that manner. Because manufacturers make products for the mass market, they mark everything that way, whether it`s going to CA or not. It`s pretty ridiculous, I got some Ethernet patch cables at work, and they had that label on them. After puzzling about what lead could be in there, I realized that the little contacts are brass...and then I had to go wash my hands after I plugged in the cable (kidding).

I don`t fear death, I`m not afraid of catching cancer or anything really, I had a vision of my own death years ago and I know how it`s going to go down, I`m going to get shot in the back of the head by a young jealous husband when I`m 92!

Wow, washing your wands will stop the spread of cancer.



All this time researching and it was right in front of us.

Be fun if it that doesn`t happen.

Yeah - like maybe he just gets mad and leaves, I don`t need another hole in my head!

Why does your brass contain lead? I thought it was two parts copper, one part tin. :nixweiss

Adding lead is a common metallurgy practice to improve machinability, done in steels and brass/bronze.

Ok, gotcha. :up
