Some drive-thru’s also have braille.
Ever heard of child labor? And also the child might be at his/her mom’s/dad’s work place that has heavy meachinery. Otherwise I would just guess it is there because they don’t want to get sued.
That message is for adults who haven’t outgrown the great orange taste!
Some idiot took Childrens Tylenol & was highly affected by it….& done something stupid under the influence…He (or she) got hurt & sued the company….
thats the reason for most warning labels….because of stupid people.
This is one of these “mysteries of everyday life,” that makes me shake my head also. Children should not operate heavy machinery, nor should a lot of adults; but that is another story. I know that the Health and Safety Commission has had to have more and more warnings added to any product which is sold in the USA over the past twenty years or so. I don’t know if that means that there are more and more people in the general public who are just not smart enough to realize these things on their own, or the fact that so many people are out to bring lawsuits against companies and individuals for utter ridiculousness. I have actually read some packaging in the market warning about eating raw meat. I think that the degree of common sense has dropped at great deal in my lifetime. It is frightening when you think about it. Just think of some of the questions we see on here. I find a great deal of this type of thing unbelievable; and I guess there are still some of us in the world, who have some common sense left. With all of the advantages and advancements in technology in the world; I would think that people would be getting smarter….This type of thing makes me even more determined to use as much of my brain and common sense as I possibly can. Have a great day!
No, but in case an adult needs some tylenol and there are no adult tablets the warning has to be there so the children can read it to the adults heh heh heh
