| Re: I simply wonder said by FBGuy:there is no substantial proof that cell phones cause cancer. Until there is scientific evidence Cell Phones increase cancer risk I think it is inappropriate to force manufactures to include a health warning about possible effects. That sets a dangerous precedent.
I find it curious folks are so worried about cancer risk but pretty much ignore well documented risk of using a cell phone while driving. Guess the C word is scarier then getting splattered over the highway.

You know that driving warning label would have to be in a conspicuous place, so perhaps we can put it right on the windshield somewhere so you see it. : )

upside is we found if you hold the button down on the hardwired control it keeps closing anyway.

The problem with common sense is that it is so uncommon these days, mainly because we've allowed the legal system to subsidize stupidity.

I had a sunshade for the windshield of the car with that exct phrasing on it. Why would that warning be needed? What moron would drive a car with the windshield covered up. | |

Anchorage, AK | Re: I simply wonder The case you are referring to was legitimate. She didn't sue because the coffee was hot, she sued because it was negligently hot (185 °F/85 °C), enough to cause third degree burns to 6% of her body within seconds and 16% of burns overall. She had to have two years of medical treatment to recover.

For what it's worth, my coffee finishes brewing at 65-70 °C (150-160 °F), but I can't touch it until it's about 50 (120). | |
