Coffee sold in California must carry cancer warning, judge rules
Coffee sold in California must carry a cancer warning, a court has ruled. The judge in Los Angeles said Starbucks and about 90 other coffee sellers had failed to warn customers about a potentially toxic compound that is produced during the roasting process.
The firms were sued by a California-based non profit-group over the chemical acrylamide. The group argued that as acrylamide is regarded as carcinogenic under state law, it should be sold with a warning.
Ruling in favour of the Council for Education and Research on Toxics, Superior Court Judge Elihu Berle said the companies should not be exempt from the law, as they had failed to prove that the "consumption of coffee confers a benefit to human health". The companies have until 10 April to appeal the decision.

hammers. Hammers cause injury or death in 100% of tests involving hitting people on the head.
Hanmers need warning labels!

Humans are dangerous. There should be a warning label attached to them right at birth! ;-)

Defective hammers, however, don’t.
Conclusion
Make all items defective. No need for warning specific items. Stuff will break faster. Those that can afford it will buy new defective shit (not the recently out of work and not retrained safety warning who are now homeless). Profit.
Campaign in 2020 for the out of work safety peeps. (Coal miners are so 10s). But under no circumstances should you retrain the newest homeless class. Jesus won’t tolerate those who can’t help themselves. Damn lazy fucks. Gees Louise!!!
