I agree, but I am thinking about scenarios where businesses get sued for consumer safety. This happens, right? Someone is harmed and they assert it's because the manufacturer of the thing didn't take adequate care to prevent a situation? Like I said in another comment, I think it's ridiculous. I'm just open to the idea that they are doing it to protect themselves rather than trying to give (I assume) a very very small minority of their users the finger.

>I agree, but I am thinking about scenarios where businesses get sued for consumer safety. This happens, right? Someone is harmed and they assert it's because the manufacturer of the thing didn't take adequate care to prevent a situation? I'm not aware of any example of a company getting sued for consumer safety due to a consumer buying a good, modifying it in a way to cause intentional harm, then reselling it to another party. I would be absolutely fascinated to read if someone has an example of it. There's a lot of things our legal system gets wrong, but that would be absolute insanity. No business would be able to function with what is essentially unlimited liability.
