Almost everything sold to California has a big label telling you that you might get cancer, and no one cares or even takes note anymore. The manufacturer puts it because it's cheaper than proving it doesn't cause cancer. And your warning is weaker than that.

Consumers sensitive to this kind of thing can be captured with independent private testing instead of CPSC. UL is well situated for stuff like that.
