My roomate bought a little propane fire pit so we can make smoores right in our back yard. Just a little propane tank a small burner and some stones. It came with a cover like a full sized grill.....Here's the problem......In big white letters it says "cover must be removed before use!!!! Can you freaking beleive that?

Yes. Boo to consumer protections.

you need to be protected from your own stupidity?

LOL. You buy a four dollar tool at Harbor Freight and it comes with a book explaining every possible way to use it. You get a hundred thousand dollar industrial part, and they send not a page of instructions as to installation procedures.

From experience, that hundred thousand dollar industrial part often comes with a tech rep.

Had to get a new fluke DVM. Big thick instruction manual with instructions in over 20 languages. Probably be the Rosetta stone of the future.

That's more of a measure by the company so when someone stupid does do that, they cannot sue the company for millions of dollars.

Odds are the notice is a result of prior 'incident...'


People happen...

Ahh... Isn't that sweet? The voice of compassion... promoting the regulatory liability that has in large measure lowered the standard of living for many employees of companies that failed to mention that the absence of common sense can lead to serious bodily injury and/or death...

BRAVO GOOD SIR! The stupid NEED PROTECTING!
