The problem is it doesn't have a minimum quantify before reporting is required, so 1 pay per trillion of any of 10,000 different substances triggers the warning, so there isn't anything that doesn't require the warning.
The standard essentially requires an unachievable level purity along every step of the manufacturing and distribution process in order to NOT have the label.
The result is over-labeling, which results in products that we should actually be concerned about sneaking into our homes because we ignore warning labels.
Interesting.
Wouldn't it have been better to have the manufacturer state the amounts? That way, you just need to read the fine print. Like one does for food products.
