The average person wouldn't know that already? The warnings and cautions aren't weak, the fact that they have to be included is weak. How would you strengthen these warnings, go to 6 pages? Don't try to floss teeth with spinning blades, don't fly while sleeping, please do not warm battery in oven....etc etc?

They can only caution against so many things. Of course someone will use the item in an unintended manner, and then sue when something bad happens. This is why you buy an iron now and it comes with a warning to not apply to the face when turned on. Doh!



There is always a lawyer behind any of those crazy warnings. They are not stupid. they just cover normal, smart people when stupid people get hurt and sue. This is America, remember. Did you see "Things might be closer than they appear" in mirrors? Now you know why that is there. I had a hedge trimmer (electric) that warned against hanging the extension cord around your neck because it could "cause injury"...
