In Canada we find these warnings silly and irrelavant, however products made for sale in the U.S. require all these warnings and more because lawsuits are initiated for the most frivolous of reasons. Nothing is sold in the U.S. unless the lawyers have figured out every possible way the product could be misused and result in a lawsuit.
I bought opaque some sunshades for the winshield of my car recently, to block the sun from heating the car while parked...the warning label stated, "Do not drive with sunshades in place".
Are we that litigious of a society that common sense has completely disappeared? Sheesh. It's scary to think that every ridiculous warning out there is there because someone actually did that, and then tried to sue the manufacturer.
