saw a crazy warning label on a PC product today

[QueBert]

I was at Pc Club, looking for anything to buy. Had been interested in the Belkin Nostromo n50 SpeedPad lately, especially since they have it for 16 bucks (hot deal) and every review on the web pretty much says they love it.

so I'm reading the box, and on the back in the corner I saw a warning label. I thought it would be about don't use for extended periods or something to do with C.T.S.

the label basically said the product contained led based products that have been linked to Birth Defects & that you should always wash your hands after using this. I've never see that kind of label on a PC product

This is a gaming device, I can only speak for myself, but I tend to like to munch when I play video games. What Belkin said has me wondering, I know it's probably just a warning to save their butts. But that seems pretty drastic

"using this device while playing XIII can lead to Cancer!" ok, so it didn't say that, but the guy working got a good chuckle when I showed him, as did the tech when he showed him.

led...no known issues

Now, if it had lead in it, that would concern me

Is this a joystick we're talking about here? If so, I think washing hands can help if you use it the wrong way...

After enough munching and playing the control should be sufficiently coated with a protective layer of grease, shielding you from the lead.

I was right, it was never the beer. My PC is making me stupid!!
