Crazy labelling

as for stupid lawsuits my favourite of all time was an american who sued a motorhome company because he engaged cruise control on his motor home then went into the back to make a brew.

he won hence why in user manuals for cars they sometimes say the vehicle still needs you at teh wheel or the car dosnt drive its self
 
heinz claim to have 57 varieties of bean in their baked beans

they have yet to answer my email asking if humanbean is one of them
 
Who decides what allergies get a warning? Lots of people are allergic to all sorts of things, is milk really that poisonous to people with a milk allergy? I know nuts can kill some people.
 
i suppose its like how they decide if a road gets a speedbump or camera

if a cetrain amount of people get killed they put measures in place
 
People sue at the drop of a hat these days because it's made so easy (no win no fee lawyers etc.) greed and money for nothing seem to drive a lot of folk. Common sense doesn't come in to it anymore. If people had to pay to engage the services of a lawyer I think a large percentage of these claims wouldn't see the light of day. And manufacturers wouldn't feel the need to specify every little detail on their labels.
 
*sigh* I give up.

So far we have graduates who don't know bacon is from a pig, peanuts that are legumes but don't contain any peas, nuts that aren't really nuts but seeds, nuts that don't contain simians and lawyers who are getting ready to argue with some chick called Sue about labels.

This whole thread is driving me nuts..........oh wait!
 
I once bought a claw hammer from Home base on the label was an arrow pointing to the head under it said use this end up:D
dah ok

Off the top of my head -milk, egg, soya, whey, seeds, nuts and probably some more, all need warnings and I think it`s the food standards agency who decide.

Yes please, since the so called scare more places are offering lumps of horse and guess what? They are charging more than for beef.
New Forest Pony anyone? Buy one for your little darling to learn how to ride then when they get bored dump it in the freezer.
