DEAR GOD, i was so excited to get the strat i always wanted but when i opened up the box i found: WARNING CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Contains chemicals know to cause cancer and/or other reproductive harm. I threw it in the closet, i'm scared to touch the damn thing and plan on returning it......

Please talk me out of this.... Why is this guitar considered toxic? Is it the hard shell case it came with? the electronic components? Is this just a ploy to no get sued in case i eat the damn thing or burn it in a sweat lodge? I mean, what the hell is going on, Fender?!

That warning is on everything in California. The entrance to seemingly every business has that warning.

Breaking News: In a bold move to increase its market share Fender has taken to poisoning its customers. They are riding on an innovative advertising strap line "Stratocater - Are you hard enough?"

The whole world has gone mad. There were never all these issues when Britain ruled it.

If you look a bag of play sand for a children's sand box it has the same warning. :roll:

California has lost it's mind.

Wood dust is on the list. So don't huff your strats.

And don't eat solder either, even if it's lead-free.
