As a practical matter if everything has warning labels people start ignoring the labels. That's an excellent point. If we are to warn everything, for example, cars should have a prominent warning on the dashboard "do not let children drive this car." Is the absence of such an indication that the CSP is advocate killing children in cars? Huffington would seem to argue so. It's amazing how stupid people can be. The question is whether it is good public policy to use tax dollars, or increase product prices, to protect people from utter stupidity (like not opening a foam cup of hot coffee between your thighs in a car, or not feeding marbles to your baby.) Ties in with what I posted a bit ago about our society's increasing unwillingness to accept personal responsibility.
