Hopefully nobody wears a pacemaker in that house.

Excellent point:
Sometimes see notices in restaurants and lunch rooms where 'customers' may
microwave food themselves
"Microwave in use"; as a warning to pacemaker users! Also at an airport
lunch counter where microwave was in use by serving staff.

The warning is in case the door seal becomes defective. The leaking
high power RF can cause erratic operation or total failure of the
electronics in their pacemaker. Microwave ovens in commercial settings
get a lot of use so the chances of a failed seal are much higher.

I've never believed that was more than a stupid warning, i.e. rubber ducky
marked "Not a Flotation Device"!

That's exactly who the warning is for, "The stupid!" On the other
hand, if you cant swim, anything that floats may improve your chances of
keeping your head above water for a few more minutes but the toy maker
doesn't want to be sued if you drown anyway.
