U.S. manufacturers are so wary about being sued over the misuse of their products that just about everything made in this country carries a warning label in an attempt to protect themselves from idiots.
Things like a warning on coffee: "Warning: contents are hot." Or the label on a steam iron: "Warning: Do not use product while wearing apparel to be pressed."
Just today I read a warning label on a bottle of Goo Gone, the all-purpose stain remover that finally calls it like it is: "Common sense warning: Keep out of reach of children."
Common sense?
The manufacturer of Goo Gone seems to be playing to the egos of Americans, thinking anyone reading their warning believes it's the other guy who has no common sense; it couldn't possibly be aimed at them.
I applaud the makers of Goo Gone. Now, if common sense were only to spread like an epidemic, we'd be a smarter country.
