Warning label on elastic cord.

    Today I went to my local Arts and Crafts shop to buy stretchy cord to string beads and make jewellery. When I arrived home, I read the back of the product (I know, should have looked at it before) and it said : WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
    I have done some research on this label and many people are saying that this warning comes under prop 65 which states that all products containing certain chemicals must be labelled. Has anyone else had experience with these labels? Should I be worried about using it? Thanks in advance.

    Really you have to make your own decision on this. It doesn't tell you how much you would have to ingest before there was the slightest chance of the damage listed. According to the experts, coffee, burned toast, roast meat will all give you cancer. If you go into the garden there are any number of seeds that will make you more or less sick. Car exhaust fumes, pretty well any chemicals can do damage. Being in a room with a cigarette smoker, likewise. If you believe, on the very limited information available, that there is a danger, then don't use it.
