The bottle is fine; California has no problem with glass bottles. (Imagine
the outcry from wineries if *that* happened!) But Nehi uses some form of
sweetener or dye that is on the LONG California list of potential
carcinogens. So California requires some kind of disclosure label similar to
the Surgeon General's warning on packs of cigarettes. Nehi apparently
decided that it would be too much trouble to comply, so they simply pulled
their wares out of California.
