So I bought cancer causing dumbbells..

Ha. Seriously. I've been using these -
www.walmart.com/ip/Cap-Barbell-Cast-Iron-Dumbbell/11099738

"WARNING: This product contains one or more phthalate chemicals known to the state of California to cause birth defects and other reproductive harm. "


Since I use weight lifting gloves and shower right afterwards, and keep them in a closet and the dogs&cats aren't near them, I should be fine..right?

Ugh. No wonder they were so damn cheap compared to real fitness stores. There wasn't a warning in the store when I bought them. And of course, made in China. I normally avoid Chinese products..but it's not like I was going to eat off of them.
