RMT's Snap Track

I just got some new track from RMT. It still has the K-Line name molded into the underside of the ties, so it is the same product that the late K-Line company sold.

However there was a label on the box that said " WARNING: This product contains chemicals which are known to the State of California to cause cancer,birth defects, or other reproductive harm"

No where is there any hint of what these chemicals might be, the quantity in which they are found, or any other information. I sure didn’t see any warning on the RMT/ARISTO web site where I ordered the track.

So, does anyone know what this is all about?

I can’t speak for California, but here in Buckeyeland if you eat a piece of toy train track you normally end up in the operating room. [swg]

Email RMT if you want to know. I doubt that anyone on the forum has done any chemical tests on this product. If they have RUN FORREST, RUN!!!

BTW, I haven’t eaten any track for several years.

The all-knowing State of California has determined everything can kill you. The trick is, at least for electronics, is not to run circuit boards through your blender, mix them with ice cream and milk, and drink them.

Many years ago, I read that scientists put a dime in the abdomen of a rat…and it got cancer. So, even money will give you cancer.

I have heard about those tracks. There should have been a notice with the tracks that said " Handle only while wearing a painter’s mask and rubber gloves".

Enjoy your train running.

Lead.

Unless you’re planning on eating it, and God only knows why anyone would, I wouldn’t worry about it. Use it and have fun!

You haven’t met the chief [:D]

If you are anybody, you will want to meet the Chief. I’m in CA now. Understand why warning. Everything in CA and the people should be condemned. [:P]

Oh, THAT Chief!

I was wondering, I mean there’s Perry (Don’t call me “Chief!”) White, the “Superchief”, I even knew a Native American in the Marines everyone called “Chief.” Wasn’t sure which Chief we were talking about.

I really would recommend that you not meet the Chief, especially after he has eaten a section of RMT track.[(-D]

It’s a “CYA” label that has to go on everything nowadays thanks to lawyers. [|(]

Don’t put them there either?

I agree the whole state needs to be condemned, evacuated and turned into a prison colony. Or has that already been done?

First they need to tax the heck out of it. Oh, wait…

CA knows what you should have learned by now: Living is a condition that ends in death. You’ve been warned.
