Question for European Brooklin buyers:
Do the Brooklin models sold in the UK and Europe have a label on the box that states: "Warning: this product CONTAINS CHEMICALS which are known to the State of California to cause Cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm" or is this this just applied to US sales items?

California........One of the dumbest states in the Union. That's a notice they are putting on coffee now so it doesn't surprise me that it would be on white metal model cars. What a ludicrous state.
California? Actually, I think Georgia is a ludacris state. I believe he's from Atlanta (Pic)

Randall, good one!
Agreed, don't live there now. Just trying to find out if
Brooklin has to label its boxes for worldwide delivery.

We do not have that label here in Holland (Netherlands)
No additional label on the box here in Germany.

I once tried it in Norway - it killed my gustatory buds at once.

Hi Tom .. From Central Florida
Gustatory bud damage? That sounds harsh.
Label
We don't have that label on boxes here in England John.
Just a guess, but because Brooklin trade with their distributor Brasilia Press, who are in IN, it is they, Brasilia who actually apply the labels?
Don't know, I should ask Brooklin or Brasilia
