All of this begs the question: What is the purpose of
a safety warning, to protect the consumer from injury,
or to protect the manufacturer from a lawsuit?

Philosophically, I firmly believe that great care
should be put into should be put into designing both
products and warnings for maximum safety.

Realistically, I put into the doc what the legal
department tells me to. I like my job, and bizarre law-
suits are not an imaginary threat.

Happy Friday,

Kevin
