I found the same label in an mp3 player I recently purchased. I think all electronics these days have that same cancer causing component. Whatever it may be, like you said, could be the foam or copper, or plastics.

“anon,” thanks for the comment and the link to the FAQ.
There must be a reason that Proposition 65 was passed, and for that reason “do not be unnecessarily alarmed” doesn’t hold much weight.
