Ordered a purse came in mail today it's labeled with california law informing us it contains chemical that may cause cancer or harm to unborn worry?

No: A lot of things "may" have these effects. For your peace o mind, keep the purse in an open state in a well ventilated area for a couple of days.

Stop worrying: California has a bizarre law that requires that EVERYTHING be labeled with a warning that it causes cancer and birth defects. It's the laughing-stock of the scientific world. Sadly, this foolishness tends to discredit real dangers. Enjoy your purse.
