this definitely is no CAUTION. You should consult the ANSI Z535 standard. It
propses a five-level system:

DANGER people can easily be hurt or killed
WARNING people could possibly be hurt of killed
CAUTION people could possibly be endangered and slightly hurt

...and less frequenty used:

NOTICE possibly dangerous sitatuion, goods might be damaged
IMPORTANT helpful information


Greetings from Germany,
Alexander
