    What's really sad about these warnings is that the companies were probably sued because some idiot actually did these things or wasn't aware of these glaringly obvious things.

    Lol they are funny, but I think most companies or whatever print those signs because there are some pretty silly people out there who would try something and then sue the company saying "But that wasn't on the lable" or like it wasn't stated....Wasn't there a case of a woman who about herself coffee in those take away cups and then when she spilled it on herself and got burned she sued the place saying that the cup didn't say that the coffee it contained was hot...she won the case too...(I don't remember the whole story)

    I remember the story well.
    "Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants, also known as the McDonald's coffee case and the hot coffee lawsuit, is a 1994 product liability lawsuit that became a flashpoint in the debate in the U.S. over tort reform after a jury awarded $2.86 million to a woman who burned herself with hot coffee she purchased from fast food restaurant McDonald's. The trial judge reduced the total award to $640,000, and the parties settled for a confidential amount before an appeal was decided." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    I think it was on purpose. I have in-laws who have "accidents" at stores and restaurants on purpose.

    Its true some people are just "evil" and because of that people have to resort to putting stupid labels like these on their products. It would be alot easier to just kill all the stupid people.

    Everybody knows that most of this nonsense comes from people winning judgements in lawsuits which resulted when people were injured for not using common sense and ambulance-chasing lawyers like John Edwards goaded plaintiffs into filing many frivolous lawsuits.

    Technology is getting so advanced and yet people remain stupid overall.
    What it boild down to is Common Sense, and that's sad, because common sense is the one thing most of us took for granted. Like birds that fly once pushed out of the nest.
    But anymore people are growing up in a dim-witted society that has to be taught not to spill hot coffee in your lap, lol.
