    I just bought a set of cookware. On the box there is a sticker
    "Cookware will be very hot while in use."
    well, duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh as my daughter would say LOL
    I would hope so.
    Isn't that the point?
    hehe ... well, it was a nice giggle for the day.

    Unfortunately, some people are extremely stupid. Companies have to
    protect themselves from liability. Sometimes that means putting
    warnings on things that you and I and most other people would not
    need. But there will always be an ambulance chaser around who will
    be happy to take a company to court and argue that the company was
    negligent. I had to even mention the McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit,
    but it is the prime example. Forget all that [censored] about the
    alleged temperature readings at restaurants, all of which were much
    cooler than my home drip coffee puts out. For me it comes down to
    the idiocy of holding a cup of hot coffee between your legs.

    Except it isn't, which is why McDonald's were found liable.
