This Is Too Weird!

[BearBait]

So as a Christmas present I was given a Lamonster frame mounted water bottle (which I had strongly hinted for). And as I was examining the various components -- some assembly required -- I spotted a sticker, on the bottle holder itself, which said (in four languages, here paraphrased) "Warning: can cause cancer and reproductive problems!"

Now the item to which the sticker was applied is a chrome and plastic device meant to hold the bottle, nothing more. Damifino how it could possibly cause cancer, and about the only way it could cause reproductive problems is if a person contrived to somehow catch his nuts in the clamping mechanism.

So? Any ideas?

The sticker is on the frame probably b/c it is easier to remove from there. The water bottle coating, to keep things warm/cold, may have BPS or BPA; the probable reason for that sticker.

I may have looked at the wrong item on Lamonster’s website. So, it is just my best guess.

Those stickers are on everything now days with the exception of planned parenthood's front doors. Hoooooo,,,slap my mouth! ARtraveler going to be after me now with a big o'll switch . After I'm gone please don't forget just who's birthday it is today. GBA

Who Me! :roflblack: :roflblack:

My only comment here would be ride more, worry less.

We both have the LM water bottle holders. And we are still here.

The hands glow a little bit, but they help with the night driving now. :yes:

A car driver texting is more likely to kill you before those extreme California warnings.

You just don't know...... eating a chrome plated metal water bottle holder might give you cancer.


There is a sticker on the lid of my washing machine that says washing clothes with gasoline or cleaning fluid could be hazardous to your health. Duuhhhh.............

While removing the many warning stickers on a new 1980 Yamaha GS1000G, I read the wordy one from the forks. One of the cautions was DO NOT INCINERATE. That was not in my plans for that bike.

Not worried, merely puzzled. On rereading I see the sticker has a California government reference (www.P65Warnings.ca.gov), which explains a lot all by itself. :shocked: :banghead:

Do not remove those warning label decals. There is a subdivision of the mattress tag enforcement police that specializes in cracking down on warning label removal. That group is very strict and the fines / jail time is severe.

:agree: Not bleedin' kidding!! It's just like not reading the BRP Warning label on your Spyder/Ryker before ryding off - you might think your fine not reading them every time.... until you get caught! :yikes: Then the cuffs come out and life gets reeeeaaallly uncomfortable for a while! :shocked: :lecturef_smilie:



And if you are perchance, just sneaking off to have a quick read of all the warning labels again, drop me a PM, I've got this bridge I need to sell, going very cheap, considering... :joke: hyea:

I removed the Spyder warning label...had a very cool Spidertrax decal I put there. Spidertrax is the brand of wheel spacers on my Toyota Tacoma and the decal worked out well, since I use the warning card as a sunshade for the gage cluster when parked.

I believed the risk of jail time vs showing the world the warning label was balanced in the risk vs reward criteria.

All these warnings are for idiots. By idiots. Idiots don't read warning.

I disagree opcorn:

I was in new product development my entire career. We used to say, "make it idiot proof and they'll just come up with a better idiot".

That means if you bust it up with a hammer and eat the chunks you will die of one of the above......

And for the reproductive problems part.......... it means all your children will be born nekked.
