perhaps run amok

I never quite know what to make of lawsuit culture. (they are trying very hard to catch up here in Canada) On the one hand it seems too quick and too trivial, OTOH undeniably carelessness and negligence often leave people no alternative.

Corporate CYA.

Open any p0age in your Moss catalog and you see "WARNING cancer and reproductive harm."

We do live in a world where it is mandatory to put a large warning label on a blow dryer saying DO NOT TAKE INTO TUB OR SHOWER. :stupid::stupid::stupid:

 

[Basil]

That's because the stuff it is coated with is harmfull when handled for an extended period of time
Had a friend that it happened to. Not with your product shown , but one I use a lot
So I think it's a good message

Ok. I think it's over kill but that's just me.

Yep - a world where thousands actually do take the blow dryer into the tub or shower! (And who pays attention to warning labels, anyway?)

Riddle me this, who actually though about plugging an iron into a Home Theater Receiver?

Page 9 from the owner manual Pioneer VSX-D509S:

AC outlet [switched 100 W (0.8 A) max]
Power supplied through this outlet is turned on and off by the receiver's POWER switch.
Total electrical power consumption of connected equipment should not exceed 100 W (0.8 A).
Do not connect a heater, TV, etc.
memo
The 5.1 channel input can only be used when DVD 5.1 CH is selected.
memo
• This unit should be disconnnected by removing the power plug from the wall socket when not in regular use, e.g., on vacation.
Do not connect appliances with high power consumption such as heaters, irons, or television sets to this AC OUTLET in order to avoid overheating and fire risk.
This can also cause the receiver to malfunction.

One sentence in the report reads,
"It is unclear how one might use iTunes to construct such weapons."

With some of the MUSIC, ( if that's what it's called) they play now I could consider it a weapon of sorts! :highly_amused:
