Reply:yes, do you want to be posioned, burnt electrocuted hence the warning, they may look silly, contridict but there are some not too clever people who do misuse things are cause their own injuries and death.


So caution warning are necessary, cant be sold otherwise.
Reply:They figure if they don`t tell you then you don`t know.
Reply:The third, fifth and last are all right with me.
Reply:Okay..remember a few years ago the lady who sued McDonald's cause the coffee she put between her legs while driving spilled and burnt her? She won that case remember..





So yeah..the warnings are necessary.


Sad ain't it..
Reply:all necessary


you would not believe what people do even when warned.


my favorite though is "open can before heating"
Reply:haha no...they don't but i'm guessing they must be having laws to ENLIGHTEN the customer about the use of the product...
Reply:yes they are just incase someone stupid enough to do it they cant sue
Reply:Of course they are necessary, without them how would anyone ever figure out how to use some of this stuff, like now you know that if you want a knee pad to protect your head you must wear it on your head, not your knee. I would certainly drink out of a public toilet at a sports arena unless I saw this sign, wouldn't you? These and other such warnings are the bread and butter of lawyers and lawyers ore people too, they need money just like the rest of us and they can't all defend people like OJ. Give 'em a break
Reply:just give me your @ss, and yes you will scream!
