Huh...
Maybe it's because they're hecho en China where they use lead liberally in products? Maybe they mean it's because of lead in food which will transfer onto the cutting board, thus into you? Maybe it's lead in dishwashing soap that will contaminate the board? :R
I think what it is, is that unless they can certify it 100 percent lead-free beyond a shadow of a doubt, the easy way out is to put warning stickers like that on products to protect themselves, not you. Maybe going through the process of certifying a product lead-free is expensive? If there is a risk, it's lack of proper cleaning after prepping meats like chicken.
We have a corian counter top with corian sink covers. Not only do they weigh a ton, corian scratches easily and shouldn't be used as a cutting surface. Totally useless but sure looks great at an RV show...
We have a Camco Decor Mate Stove Topper cutting board made from the same HDPE (I assume) material that hasn't killed anyone yet. Don't recall seeing a warning label, but who reads labels anway?
