Fluke 87V causes cancer!

[Electro Detective]

I know its very subjective, has anyone feel that at Fluke's handhelds, the plastic are just feels different and "better", say compared to Keysight/Agilent's ?

I mean starting from the yellow holster, the rubber feels nice even for years, and the grayish hard plastic for the case too, feels strong say compared to Keysight's. 

The Fluke meters and their holsters do stink less, 'feel better' and last ages, 

even though the ridiculous penny pinching self tapping screw holes crack with age

and weaken the meter's ability to contain a good BANG!   

Some of the Taiwan stuff isn't bad either

Proposition 65 needs either a serious overhaul or to be revoked. It is a joke and a complete waste of time and money.

[EEVblog]

Dumbest and most uninformative warning in history, well down California 

[Gary350z]

I live in California.
Proposition 65 is ridiculous.
Most everything has this warning.
At lumber yards there are warning signs saying "sawdust causes cancer".

Restaurants have this warning on the door.

This looks almost like a psyop. If you want some real issue under the carpet - overplay it - hard! "Annoyed masses" will soon ridicule "lone madmen" pinpointing at original issue... This has been recently done on large scale on two other fundamental subjects, quite successfully...

don't even get me started on what they have done to the portable petrol can

Let me guess..sniffing or drinking gasolene from a portable petrol can, may cause cancer?   

LOL, Whatever 'game' these alarmist d!ckheads on good incomes bled from taxpayers are playing,

the best defence is to hold on to your wallet till the farce blows over 

and wait for the next big one, maybe it will be a legit concern..

Its even better than that.  It has a special spout which was so poorly designed it causes more spills.

They ban lead ammo and sinkers because you don't want any lead going in the ground from fishing and hunting.  I supposed they have mined all the ground to get rid of all the lead occurring naturally.

[BMack]

Coincidentally, California is a cancer on the US...not quite as bad as Washington DC but still cancer.

LOL, yeah I can see their concern at the rabble with no permits littering the ground with lead 

 -Tar and Feathering- is overdue for a big comeback

I think the lack of deviation in calibration is causing cancer not the materials.

Symptoms of this variant of Cancer include:

-Moths in pockets.
-Overwhelming Smugness.
-Evil thoughts (about all other meter manufacturers)

LOL. Without California's contribution to the US economy , we'd have been in recession for most of the past few decades and even further in debt than we already are.

[hikariuk]

California would be in the top 10 world economies if was an independent country, iirc.

Dave and I have been ignoring those warnings for decades and haven't suffered any brain dramage.

Yes yes, thanks to a handful of tech companies, primarily. California has long suffered from the largest outflow of both individuals and companies in the western US, both acting in what each deem their best interests.

Stop posturing over geography, regardless over the accuracy or context of your claims of California's economy and the wondrous effects of overregulation, you had little to do with it.

[jh15]

don't parking garages in California have the cancer signs too? Heard that.

My Tesla s did not come with paper manuals, never noticed that it came without stickers or manual to throw away in 27 languages about safety.

Maybe I should "read the instructions".

[mtdoc]

Incorrect. California has an incredibly broad and diverse economy. See here .

California has long suffered from a net outflow of both individuals and companies, both acting in what each deem their best interests.

Wrong again. For example, see here or here

Stop posturing over geography, regardless over the accuracy or context of your claims of California's economy and the wondrous effects of overregulation, you had little to do with it.

WTF?  You seem to be poisoned by politics. I'm not sure why else you'd find the facts so unpleasant that they'd cause such a response.

[jh15]

I meant to mention the car was built in California, and did not come with annoying stickers about causing cancer in California. Maybe because it was being shipped here.

Now I'm worried, I lived in California in my formative years, around 6. Am I susceptible to my cars fumes? will I become allergic to peanuts or something?

Also, I thrice again bought a car made (mostly) in america. burned twice before and wife never with aissan made ones. 3k miles so far, (maybe 200 miles for me)

Now I am paranoid about computer type cables burning my house down. Will use ohmmeter or maybe better my Ucuurent eevblog device to check out.

Life = Cancer

NOTE:
WARNING ! Homosapiens!

Further use of life can mean cancer. 

 

What's in the US?
More money cash for medical diagnostics.
Be afraid to get cancer, do medical research every day ... thousands of dollars !!!
You will be healthy
Corporations fool you as much as possible, just to earn as much as possible.

[NottheDan]

So basically it is just another checkbox for companies to cover their collective arses from potential lawsuits.

[Electro Detective]

Does this mean waving a Fluke around to gain easy access to any job site and reap free tradie benefits    

is now a   Cancer Alert   at the security gates.. arrest and quarantine ?   

What's the world coming to ?   

[macboy]

only in California, you are safe everywhere else

You are oblivious and misinformed everywhere else.

Don't get me wrong Prop65 is not the best example of a good implementation, and that's something to work on. But it is important to provide information to consumers.

Same way as nutrition facts on the food provide valuable information in a standardized format.

Don't compare relatively informative nutrition labels to prop 65 labels. If they were analogous, then the nutrition label would read simply "Warning: this product contains chemicals known to cause weight gain, increased cholesterol, increased blood pressure, or other health issues". And of course, the same exact label would be on every food item sold.

The entrances to beaches in CA have the Prop 65 warning signs, as well.  Crystalline Silica (aka SAND) is on the potential carcinogen list....

Just think how large California's economy would be, and how sound it's finances would be if time and energy weren't wasted on drivel like Prop 65.  I suspect the waste is larger than the economies of our poorest states, certainly larger than the Indian reservations.
