When sharing some slides in Google Slides I get a message like

This document contains United States - Driver's License Numbers. Are you sure you want to share it with people outside your organization?

However, the document does not seem to contain such numbers. Is this just a bug?

Specifically, this occurs when sharing Openintro Statistics slides.

Apparently the problem has been "passed on to the team" at Google.
