Why do Shark vacuums have cancer warning?

Shark vacuums contain a chemical called 4,4′-methylenedianiline (MDA) which is classified as a possible human carcinogen. The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 requires that products that contain certain levels of MDA display a warning label. As a result, Shark vacuums have a cancer warning label on them to inform consumers about the potential risk of using a product containing this chemical.
