Remember, don't speak to anyone about anything. It can be used against you in their lawsuit.
And in the hardware store with the hammers. Not to be used to hit hands or fingers. Though I am sure that sign was put there by an employee after a guy I heard complaining that he had mashed his finger with a hammer he bought from them.
I am very happy that I was born before we had all these people and the Govt. to watch out for us and make sure we were safe.  I even remember a town I lived in and they only had 1 (one) lawyer and he hardly ever did anything but sit in his office and B.S. with the people.

One time I counted all of the warning signs on a self-compacting dumpster, Twenty seven warning signs! 
One change and our "sue the bastard" mentality would change in a hurry. Just make the complaintant who is the loser in any lawsuit liable for the court costs and the lawyers fee for the defendant!
Stupid lawsuits would dry up immediately.

You got that right. That way our courts would have the time for trials of the real criminals. |

I disagree...it is the society we tolerate. If we all stood up and said enough maybe some of this crap would end and people would have to start using some friggin' common sense.

I bought a can of Sterno a few years ago, but the label said 'Caution, Do not use near fire or flame'.
I have not been able to figure out what to do with them.

Well there's another side.
Mfgs. have a history of resistance to the increased manufacturing costs and don't have a problem just paying a few lawsuits if they think it will cost less. So of course they may consider your arm worth $5000.00 in reality, you consider this an insult and sue. The lawyer gets up to half. The government takes 20yrs to run their studies and finally mandates it.
Obviously there are stupid suits and stupid people as well, but sometimes you have an accident you didn't see coming. The grey area is if it occurs enough to warrent a warning label. There are abuses on both sides.
As far as the dessicant, ideally you'd see that warning and remove them before putting them in the closet where the two year old finds it and thinks it's rock candy... But ya maybe the kid was just stupid.
I was just as aggravated as the next guy when I couldn't buy a power tool with a cord longer than six inches. (this shifted blame to the extention cord mfg.) Tucker got buried by the big three.
I have my doubts padded sun visors saved anyone but padded dashes were a good idea.

Millions stood up when they tried to push that 'immigration legislation' on us last year!. I remember two or three senators saying they don't remember ever receiving so many emails and phone calls from their constituents, demanding they stop this bill. I was one of them.
