Quoted from first set "'HOMEOWNER SUES SAYING:
"THIS DUST IS TRESPASSING!"
A Michigan couple sued the owners of a nearby business claiming that dust, noise and vibrations invaded their property and therefore were trespassing. A jury actually found in their favor, but a Court of Appeals panel overturned the jury's verdict. The Appeals court stated that noise, vibrations and dust are intangible objects and can not be considered as trespassers."

How can dust be intangible when you can pick it up and feel it - somebody ought to explain what intangible means to that American judge!

So you would have ruled in favor of the homeowner?

Those are like the "Warning, May contain nuts" on a couple of salted penut packs i've bought.

And the labels on food containters saying "Serving suggestion" on the front because iirc some people complained about the covers being misleading and thinking they would look like that out the pack.

Gotta love idiots.

the most worrying thing about that is the word "may". If a pack of nuts"may" contain nuts it doesnt really say much for the quality of the product.

Dont know what laws they had in the state involved - in the UK this would be covered by the Tort of Nuisance as an 'escape off of the land'. I dont see this one in the same league as the others personally.

My personal favourite has to be "A smoke detector warns: “Do not use the Silence Feature in emergency situations. It will not extinguish a fire.”
