Manufactures Attach Warning Labels to Their Products
Americans are getting warned constantly. Manufactures are growing increasingly wary of being sued when their products are misused, so they are attaching warning labels to hundreds of items. For example, a Batman outfit bears this warning: “Parents, please exercise caution—FOR PLAY ONLY. Mask and cape are not protective; cape does not enable user to fly.” (Our Daily Bread, March 20, 1998).
