Didn't have to read the post to know this was California.
and for a recent OSHA inspection, we had to label white out as a hazardous material! Seems OSHA considers whiteout as a likely cause of accidental work place poisoning.

I haven't seen anything in the last decade that didn't have that sticker on it.

This warning is on all Fender and PRS guitars too. (And many others)
See the link below. The risk is mainly in the manufacturing setting and inhaling particles. So if you don't handle it at work all day, you should be fine.

But don't think you're out of the woods just yet, you'll have to use solder to install those pickups! Get that fan out and open the garage door!

Re: Nickel causes cancer huh?
But, how does "knowing" help you in the real world?
It's one thing to list Nickel as a potential allergen, which it is for some people, but a statement claiming it is "known to cause cancer" is rather misleading because it doesn't inform consumers of the context in which the material might be harmful to them. Plus, you rarely know an item contains "dangerous" materials until it arrives with this label on it. In function, how does that serve to better inform you as a consumer?
They should just put a "do not eat or inhale" warning on everything and let things be
EDIT: By the way, I don't think the OP's post was calling out SD exclusively. I also appreciate SD's "also exposes you to amazing tone!" note at the bottom.
