This is just Kobo covering their butt legally on the rare off chance these things happen. I've noticed a lot of manuals/user guides have a few pages of instructions (if that) then the majority of the publication in small print warning if this or that happens they are not liable because they've given you this warning.
This reminds me of health warnings that experts announce regularly about food ... my Mum is always amused when another food type is labelled as causing such and such when she grew up eating it on a regular basis as did her many siblings and most of them are still going around into the 70's and 80's.
She keeps asking when breathing will be labelled as bad for your health and you be advised to stop/minimise usage for your long term health.
Generally common sense is all that's needed. Look into it and see what the real chance/danger of using any device is. You've probably got as much chance of dropping your Vox in water and zapping yourself fishing it or such. It's all about weighing the dangers should any realistically be there.
