I think you have misunderstood. A warranty from a manufacturer is in
addition to the buyer's legal rights. So manufacturers can exclude
anything they like. Indeed, they don't even need to give a warranty.

A manufacturer can't escape responsibility for the safety of a product
but a consumer doesn't have the same rights against them as they have
against the seller.

Indeed so, the contract is between the buyer and the seller.
