you mean like, "i'm too insipid to operate this device, so i need a written warning so i can't sue the manufacturer," type warning?"
obama needs a new "warning csar," maybe you are available...
“you mean like, “i’m too insipid to operate this device, so i need a written warning so i can’t sue the manufacturer,” type warning?”
No, an “if used as intended this bat may sometimes cause fatal injury” warning.
Reminds me of two really stupid product suits brought against manufacturers.
1). The Ametek “Big Boy” washing machine was huge, in laundromats and a big favorite with the Army. Front Load, stick your arm in and try to grab wet clothes before it stops spinning and you might lose everything up to the shoulder.
They pay a clown to find and remove them all to stop the liability suits. Clown re-sells some he was paid to remove and guess what, the deep pockets get sued, not the clown.
Worse, the machines had been “fixed” so the drum wouldn’t stop spinning when the door was opened.
2. Guy injures himself trimming his hedge with a gas powered lawnmower and sues the manufacturer because there was no warning label telling him not to pick it and try to trim a hedge with it.
This stuff didn’t happen yesterday, both cases are from the ‘70s IIRC.
From http://www.thefreedictionary.com/
in·sip·id (n-spd) adj.
1. Lacking flavor or zest; not tasty.
2. Lacking qualities that excite, stimulate, or interest; boring.
[French insipide, from Late Latin nsipidus : Latin in-, not; see in-1 + Latin sapidus, savory (from sapere, to taste; see sep- in Indo-European roots).]
