OT: California Warning Label

[djams]

My sister was telling me about Neuro-Mag magnesium, and the profound effect it has had on her sleep. I've tried magnesium citrate before but don't like having mushy poops. Had a major cleanup job down there every day. Took all the joy out of the experience.

But this brand has very little to no laxative effect. So I'm definitely interested. I'd rather take magnesium than melatonin. Researching it, I found a California warning about the contents of the product that alarmed me greatly. I read more about the warning and decided that it was over the top, and went ahead with purchase.

Well this morning I go to home depot to pickup some wood screws. And found the exact same alarming message on the box! A box of wood screws!

Am I wrong in thinking that warnings like this keep many people from getting help they need, and cause many others (like me) to just ignore it completely? What the hell's wrong with the legislators out there?

I'll be paying zero attention to this warning in the future.

BTW - Neuro-mag didn't have the intended effect for me. I fell asleep fine but kept waking up on the two nights I took it near bedtime. I saw a couple mentions of this in the reviews. I'm still using it, taking it in the morning right now. It supposedly gets into the brain, so maybe I just need to let myself adjust.

And I'm happy to report, no laxative effect at all for me. Talk about a WIN!

Laxative effects may be more likely to occur in California.

Where have you been? Everything causes cancer in California.

At first, I thought (hoped?) perhaps NoClean was required to have a warming label in California.

A plaque with that warning is posted on the lobby wall of our apartment building. And yes, I live in California.

Please be careful when it comes to the laxative effect of consuming wood screws.

If you turn them clockwise they bind you up. Jim

Obviously I was referring to the lefty-loosey phenomenon.

Or apartment buildings.

But, they put that warning on extension cords, because some of them have lead in the plastics, (apparently), not sure if they're afraid of people handling them, or licking them....

I suppose there's a good chance that a wood screw was used somewhere in your apartment building. Hopefully this plaque doesn't keep you up at night.

I did mix these topics together. I appreciate your warning. I'll post it in the bathroom and the garage so I don't get confused.

So I'm a dead man walking. I'll probably drop dead shortly. If I disappear from the forum you'll know why. Be sure that somebody sues someone on my behalf.

You'd think this would hurt the tourism industry.

I do see that I'm way behind the times on this topic!
