A Los Angeles judge has determined that coffee companies must carry an ominous cancer warning label because of a chemical produced in the roasting process.Superior Court Judge Elihu Berle said Wednesday that Starbucks and other companies failed to show that benefits from drinking coffee outweighed any risks. He ruled in an earlier phase of trial that companies hadn’t shown the threat from the chemical was insignificant.The Council for Education and Research on Toxics, a nonprofit group, sued Starbucks and 90 other companies under a state law that requires warnings on a wide range of chemicals that can cause cancer. One is acrylamide, a carcinogen present in coffee.
How the h*ll does a judge get to decide what a private business should put on its merchandise? These activist leftist judges have to slapped down.
Because the judge determined that the companies were violating California law by not having such warnings. It’s not just some numbskull judge, it’s a numbskull state.
He is right. Cali passed a stupid law "Proposition 65" back in 86 then amended it in 03 to include every known substance on the planet.
