You know what? Behind every warning or rule, there is a story. Some people ARE morons. You can rest assured that at some point, someone had their blow dryer in the shower with them, or their arm in the washing machine while it's running or whatever. And you can also bet that those same people sued the pants off of the companies who made those products.

I am thinking that some moron has harmed themselves in some way due to not following the instructions that most of us with common sense already know. They probably sued the manufacture and won because there was no warning on the product. Sounds stupid, but remember the hot cup of coffee spill from the McDonald's drive thru years ago that netted the person a pretty penny. So, manufacturers feel it is better to assume that all of us are stupid and/or potential lawsuits and label their products to cover themselves. Which actually sounds pretty smart to me.

The best warning that I have ever seen was on a bag of Salted Nuts. It said - Produced in a factory that processes nut products. May Contain Nuts!
