Exactly. In the US, at least, this seems to be more pervasive.
Seriously, I am amazed at the number of disclaimers and warnings there are on stuff. I remember reading somewhere about the person who sued McDonald's because he was fat... Uh... I think it would have been common sense to know that's what will happen if you eat junk food (and lots of it, too) 24/7 and don't exercise. I believe there was also a warning on the box of a knives set we bought. Something like, sharp object, be careful - can cause cuts, etc... There are class action lawsuits for everything, and a lot of them originate from people's stupidity.
