Oh good grief! Is this from the same morons that created Proposition 65:

This warning is provided to comply with California's Proposition 65 product labeling law. Each and every product sold by Highland Hardware, DBA Highland Woodworking, may contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Highland Hardware, DBA Highland Woodworking provides this warning based on its knowledge concerning the possible presence of one or more such chemicals, without attempting to evaluate the level of exposure.

In addition, regarding:

Tools
California requires the following notice:

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Electrical Cords
California requires the following notice:

WARNING: The wires of any product with a power cord may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Buffing Compounds & Finishing Products
California requires the following notice on buffing compounds & finishing products that contain progesterone:

WARNING: These products may contain progesterone, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer. Consult with your physician before using this product

... additionally Highland Woodworking has discovered that sticking a sharp chisel up your ass and rotating it can cause severe pain, injury, and even death. Please don't stick chisels or other sharp objects up your ass.

^^^ I added that last sentence, but the rest is for real!
