Most likely it wouldn't cause more than a nasty bump but the lawyers
want warnings on everything, no matter how ridiculous, obvious or
overstated they might be, so that when someone does something really
stupid they can point to the label and say, "You were warned!" The
reason for this is that if there is no label predicting dire
consequences for use of a product, the plaintiff's attorney will claim
that the company "knew or should have known" that their product could
cause serious injury or death and is negligent in failing to warn their
dolt of a customer that use of their product could cause such injury.
Someday we're likely to see a label on bricks warning us that we could
trip over them or cause damage by throwing them through a window. As
long as courts and juries are willing to tolerate and grant huge awards
for stupidity more and more dire warnings will appear.

someone on the head?
