So far I've been fortunate enough to avoid being in front of a jury but for a long time, I was scared of being judged by 12 folks not smart enough to get out of jury duty...
Starting to get concerned about warning labels

Whats really disturbing is that for every warning label there is someone who already did it, hence the warning. Really makes you wonder about what some people are willing to try eating.

I like the warning on sheets of plywood, that the plywood is known to cause cancer and reproductive harm
A little off topic but we got a birthday cake awhile back and they had a cutting diagram on the side of the box. I just chuckled to myself. I am assuming it was on there to prove up the advertised # of servings.

I think the pizza box warning is for Big Foot. I'm sure he could eat a
large pizza in 2 bites.

I would like to understand the wildest one from the past. My wife bought a curling iron for her hair. The warning label says "Do not put in any body orifice while Hot" I would love to see the real cause of that one. Even as sick and twisted as that might be. Then again for every warning label that's out there, that means somebody just had to have tried it.
Some times warning come too late.I love Jelly Belly jelly beans but sugar is a no no in my diet. When I found some that were sugar free I just had to eat the whole bag. Well in very small printing on the back was the warning that eating too many of these beans could cause diarrhea. I found out the hard way the next day when I was driving 1400 miles to get home from a trip. I got to know every truck stop on the way by having to stop to use their facilities.

Just a reminder: Please don't put gasoline into plastic garbage bags, it might be dangerous.

I have a chainsaw that is 12 years old and has never been started. My wife being a label reader will not let me even start it. The warning label she is obeying is "adult supervisor required". So no go for me.
... I've found that with some brands of pizza you're much better off eating the box.
Eating a "brand" of pizza is a nonstarter for me.
FWIW, unless it is computer controlled 99% of the time bypassing an interlock switch like what your describing is as simple as shorting the two wires that go to the switch together to achieve the same thing as the switch being closed.
I saw that same California law warning on the bag that a couple of pistol MAGAZINES came in.
I have to assume the potential reproductive harm is predicated on shooting your, ummm, "jewels" off.
The motorcycle forum I'm active on has post after post of people who can't start their bike. What do they do?
Check the kill switch, the clutch switch, the gear position switch, the kickstand switch and I think there's another one I'm forgetting. Long way from a kick pedal.
AAA actually put out a PSA about that, this past week.

The reason why we are looking for intelligent life in outer space is because there is none here.
I can just imagine what is going on out in space...
"Quick! Turn it all off, those idiots on Earth are looking this way! Don't let them find us!"
I'm surprised at all the dismissive attitudes about product safety labels. There are literally thousands of lawyers who make their living by keeping the unaware hordes safe (more or less) from themselves. Isn't that why Rugers have enough warning labels stamped on them to make a short story? The ABA has a veritable committee for the quarrel of liability lawyers:
Professional Liability Litigation
And yes, they're professionals. (Don't try this at home) <— warning label
