What's up with the little warning on the back of the Branchline trains boxes? Is that suppose to be like if you eat your traincar or something?

It is a California requirement, they have determined that everything can cause cancer, and thus the warning label must appear on all products sold in California. For logistics reason, Branchline elected to print it on thier sealing label.

"Warning"! Do not eat these plastic train cars! The surgeon general has determined that eating model train cars may be bad for your health!

I asked them this question and I believe it was that the whells or something on them was made of lead (sp? metal that sounds like led). Im not sure anymore but its deffinately nothing you should worry too much about because they are still in business. For me I like their kits because they are cheap and detailed and I like putting them together (even though not much is required). Email them and they will respond you quickly regarding that little warning.
