You put prop 65 as backfiring, but it looks to me like the original intent was reducing toxic products in tap water for instance and it largely achieved that goal.
From there warnings proliferated on so many more products, but getting told that chocolate bars can cause cancer is still a reasonable tradeoff. Especially as nothing is stopping the law from getting tweaked from there.
Comparing it to prop 65 or GDPR makes it look like a probably deeply effective, yes slightly annoying rule...I sure hope that's what we end up with.
