I’m surprised! I believe the ubiquity of Prop 65 warnings have desensitized us to them when they might really matter, if somehow they needed to be posted only when there was a greater need. Like I believe if you just roast a bean, you need to warn customers - like Starbucks:

Hopefully it’s not a BPA situation where the replacement material is alleged to be worse than the original one.
Do you mean to say you believe Disney decided to post an optional sign? (Can’t tell exactly but think that’s what you’re getting at.)
For the record, I believe this is not the case. Something like brass railings could necessitate the warning.
