DS manual, bottom of page 3.

"Note: This product is latex and lead free".

Blimey. Is there anything else we should know Nintendo?

People can be allergic to latex, hence the message.

To clear things up. Apple, Nintendo (or any other company for that matter) don't just put these notices as a joke. They do it for legality reasons. Notice the do not chew message doesn't show up on any other Apple country site other than the UK, and previously the US. It's because they *have* to put it there. It's something to do with comparing it to some chewing gum in a picture.

Not sure about the DS one, though the lead disclaimer is for obvious health reasons.

But ive never seen such a product warning on a Nintendo product before.

The cause for concern doesnt relate to the warning itself. Rather the fact that I have never read something different from Nintendo.

surely that it's latex and lead free is the opposite of "a cause for concern"

Some people are allergic to latex and lead is poisonous.
