This sticker is required in California. No other State in the USA requires such labelling. The solder used within this system has chemicals that can be carcinogenic if ingested.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.All laptop's, cell phones , etc... That have WiFi or Bluetooth can cause cancer. Even a lot of toys just like a microwave so it's not likely to do so.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.During the manufacture of electronics, many chemicals and materials are used. These substances are the cancer causing agents that are referred to by the warning stickers. Some residue of these substances may still be present when the product arrives at the consumer. However, the are in such small quantities that you would be receiving more exposure to cancer causing agents fueling up your vehicle at the corner gas station, than using your new laptop.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think the warning sticker is for the power cord. Virtually all power cords have them. The bisphenol A (BPA) use to make plastic 'can' cause cancer. But then again, radiation from electronics 'can' also cause cancer.
