RE: Why do we put so many warnings in our manuals?

lawsuit involving improper instructions.  >


This sounds like a legitimate product liability issue.  

But don't get down on the rest of the list.  No one has said anything about
legitimate warnings or actual product liability.  

But the fact that a company now has to warn users not to iron their clothes
while wearing them because some airhead did that and sued them IS
ridiculous.
