Now, you do need to worry about some of these obscure chemicals. There is an entire web page devoted to the hazards of DHMO, di-Hydrogen Monoxide. www.dhmo.org Check this out. It could save someone you love.

Some people have life threatening allergies to peanuts and take warnings such as that and warnings on cookies, etc very seriously. But then again, you'd think with the main label "Peanuts" would be sufficient. Perhaps, someone is making peanuts out of soy beans already. - Robert - Robert A.

I was thinking that in a similar style that maybe electrical products could have an added warning "may contain electricity". The "may" would elude to the connection of a mains cable for mains powered equipment, or even batteries in battery powered equipment. I think the IEC should be prompt to act in this vital area. Following this illogical train of thought, the swimming pool should have a warning "contains water" and the ladder could have a warning "may alter altitude". But on a slightly more serious note (but not much) If I am ever present when someone is about to do something interesting with electricity I always advise that the person about to do the deed make sure to note who present will provide the "kiss of life" when it all goes pear shaped. It tends to work (although I don't know why, as I think I'm very kissable).
