Well there's another side.

Mfgs. have a history of resistance to the increased manufacturing costs and don't have a problem just paying a few lawsuits if they think it will cost less. So of course they may consider your arm worth $5000.00 in reality, you consider this an insult and sue. The lawyer gets up to half. The government takes 20yrs to run their studies and finally mandates it.

Obviously there are stupid suits and stupid people as well, but sometimes you have an accident you didn't see coming. The grey area is if it occurs enough to warrent a warning label. There are abuses on both sides.

As far as the dessicant, ideally you'd see that warning and remove them before putting them in the closet where the two year old finds it and thinks it's rock candy... But ya maybe the kid was just stupid.

I was just as aggravated as the next guy when I couldn't buy a power tool with a cord longer than six inches. (this shifted blame to the extention cord mfg.) Tucker got buried by the big three.

I have my doubts padded sun visors saved anyone but padded dashes were a good idea.
