An interesting question.?
Answer:
I remember as a young teen first driving. Someone bought me a sun shade for my first car and I swear that written on the back was a large disclaimer: Please remove from windshield before operating the vehicle. Stupid warnings have to be given so stupid people can't sue when they do something stupid.
..because they do...?
Because people can be stupid and so the legal department at the FDA said it must be labeled so.
Just like how your hot cup of coffee from McDonald's or Starbucks says "Caution: HOT!"
Um, duh?
because of idiots! like a packet of peanuts usually has a warning that the packet may contain nuts!
Anytime you see something obvious like that it is because twelve idiots in a jury sided with some other idiot who sued somebody for something that everyone else looks at and, like you said, says "DUH!"
For similar reasons to that for so many security overkill disclaimers today. Like that ludicrous toothpaste one cautioning not to swallow it and those ubiquitous topical ointmet products that warn us 'Not to be taken internally'. Aren't those people who are stupid enough to rub shoe polish in their eyes too illiterate to read the warning labels?
