As for the warning, that's there because the government of California believes their residents will eat bags.
FYI: PFAS are "forever chemicals" that leech into the soil, linger "forever" and poison drinking water. Becoming dangerous when thrown out is more the reason for the warning.

They are often called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily and can accumulate in the environment and in living organisms, including humans. Exposure to some PFAS is linked to various health issues, such as liver damage, immune system effects, and certain cancers.
