Also note since you are in California, this item will be appropriately labeled with the proposition 65 warning to address your cancer concerns, as well as the Flackmaster warning that 86 year old Packard parts carry appropriate tetanus warning, and cautionary statements about inserting ones fingers or other body parts into spinning fan motors, sharp edges on metal parts and other such appropriate advisories such as caution should the part be found anywhere where it should not be, the kitchen sink, breakfast table under the bed, etc.
