Fortunately I do not lol. I always had a feeling those were excessive. The first set of brake pads I ever did had the label and I just assumed not to sit there and chew on them and carried on

That’s true, only a couple generations ago babies were sleeping in lead paint cribs

That’s fair. I never once ate ramen noodles and thought they were good for my organs

I agree but I’d rather die from something more exciting than eating a turkey sandwhich everyday for lunch😂

I figured the FDA always stopped harmful items coming to the market but it seems as if they turn a blind eye quite often

Thanks for the response, this stemmed from a recent recall on a product I daily used that they found carcenogens in. Which led me to just scraping the surface on other products I use and it was crazy to see how many other products have there own issues. Other than this recent recall I agree with what you said. I’m much more focused on just staying healthy and being mindful and nothing more.
