It's the americans fault - they sue for everything. Apparently fridges in the states have "do not climb on this refridgerator" cos some one once did - it tipped up and fell on them, they sued and won!

Apparently, in order to get hold of a ladder in the USA you have to sign/fill out a number of forms that remove the vendor from responsibility should the customer injure himself using it.

Given that most of these labels do come from some prat having done the thing they are warning against:

"On a Swedish chainsaw: Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."
