Seriously though, how many of these are because of a sue-you, sue-me culture?

Uhhh....all of them. Either because some jackass tried it, or to protect the company should some jackass try it.

Years ago, some guy sued Schwinn because no one told him that riding his bike at night might be dangerous. Someone else sued a bar when they did a backflip in the bar and slipped on the wet floor.
A guy sued a casino for plying him with free drinks, causing him to gamble away all his money.

We live in a society where there seems to be a huge lack of personal responsibility.

My favorite warning though, remains on a package of dexatrim that tells you it is not for infants and toddlers.

I think it was intended for those stupid enough to put a chocolate CD in a CD player mate.

I personally like the ones
Battery may explore... explore what? If you put it in a remote controlled car is it going to drive around your house at 3am looking for burglars?
Please keep out of children (kitchen knife). Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is not chopping fruit and vegetables, but slaughtering any kids who wander in to the kitchen?!
For use by trained personnel only. On a can of air freshener. Eight week evening course available at your local college.
Beware! To touch these wires is instant death. Anyone found doing so will be prosecuted. - The defence rests.

Seriously though, how many of these are because of a sue-you, sue-me culture?

meant the do not eat warnings on the silica :P

For external use only. From a jar of Tiger Balm.

I say that anyone, after smelling that, IF they're dumb enough to put it into ANY orifice, they deserve what they get...

LL, let's not forget the girl who got in an argument with her b/f, threw her drink at him then tried to storm out, slipped in the puddle she created then sued the resteraunt.
OR, the genius who tried to sue a firearms company because there was no warning in the booklet with his new rifle to alert him that it would make a loud noise when fired, he was startled, dropped the rifle and hurt his foot.

yanno...these warnings generally appear AFTER some bozo actually did it.

Good thing though...heaven help us if he were to breed.

On a similar note, there's actually a law in Maine (at least I think it's Maine) that bans fly-fishing from the back of a giraffe. I wonder what mental giant spawned that one?
