Hey Spence, you being a ambulance chaser and all, do you think that someone actually did these things so the manufacturers had to put these labels on? or is it just CYA to keep from getting sued?




just kidding on the ambulance chaser part, I know you let them stop first.

I'm aware of no cases where the things on the warning label actually happened. There may be some unreported cases (meaning it was a lower court that doesn't publish its opinions) where it has happened, but I doubt it. Juries aren't that easy to dupe. To answer your question, I seriously doubt that a company's legal department is responsible for these asinine warnings; they're probably dreamed up by an over-zealous employee who is too scared to take a dump without posting warnings that shit stinks. People have a lot of misconceptions (and therefore fear) of the legal system.
