I did, for three groups that support the restaurant industry and for several 
legal firms interested in keeping their clients protected from potential 
suits.

14 years as a professional photographer specializing in liability suits.

Again, it is common sense that coffee is hot and again, there are no products 
manufactured that can be completely free from misuse. 

At one time, if you were stupid and misused some product, too bad for you. 
These days, a lawsuit is a very real possibility for many manufacturers.
