That was a warning label I saw a few years ago on a windshield shade. Think about that for a moment - someone obviously thought that people would be so stupid as to attempt to drive a car with the shade still in place. Now, think about the probable reasons why that warning is there:

A. The manufacturer's lawyer put it there to help prevent lawsuits, or

B. Someone DID have a wreck and sued the company because there wasn't a warning label telling him not to drive with the shade in place.

Odds are that B is the cause. Years ago, "60 Minutes" did a segment on stupid tort cases. They interviewed a small businessman whose company built wooden ladders. Each of his products was covered with many warning labels, and each label was the result of a lawsuit because someone was too stupid not to stand the ladder on a slippery surface or other obvious things like that. Given that kind of tort stupidity, it's a wonder anything gets made or sold in America anymore.

Look around you and see how many stupid warning labels you encounter. Odds are every one of them was the result of a lawsuit or fear of one. It would seem we're either becoming a nation of idiots or of lawyers. I don't know which would be worse.
