They know you're going to shoot people with nerf and get beat with a lightsaber. They just write that so when some kid inevitably gets seriously hurt by one (it'll be difficult, but a child could manage) the parents can't sue because they were misusing the product.

If Nanny Culture was around in the 70s theyd have had bombs that said "do not napalm the villagers" 🙄

Purely an issue of liablity. This one of the stupidities of the american legal system where you can sue anyone for any reason, even if it is completely frivolous and brain-dead... but also still win! Two examples come to mind, famous one first. Lady who microwaved her cat to "dry it". Now you have warning labels on microwaves telling you not microwave anything that is alive / still alive or you'll kill it. This is why you can't have nice things in the US.
The goofiest one that I don't think anyone else knows about, because it was my father who told me about it, is a warning on the mast of sailboats telling people to "not sail under some high voltage power lines". So then the question is : Who the fuck did a Darwin Award by sailing their boat under some damn power lines?

Gotta cover their bases. “Coffee is hot”

i still cannot comprehend why that mcdonnalds coffee lady is seen as a hero/victim. i get it that the fucking coffee hat 6gorrillion degrees, but come the fuck on, spilling hot coffee onto your crotch due to you being a complete regard does not make you a victim of le capitalism (bad)

If a server gave you a drink that was supposed to be warm enough to sip and it accidentally melted your mouth, you’d sue

It's probably because you haven't looked at any bit of information about the case and believed how the media spun it into a 'lol look at this crazy shit, people will sure for anything' for their corporate overloads.
solidoxygen@reddit
It's not that hard to comprehend if you just bothered to do the bare minimum research into the matter. You're just intentionally reveling in your ignorance at this point.
LavenzaBestWaifu@reddit
Precisely. If you're serving coffee that is hot enough to cause extreme and severe burns, then you're serving a safety hazard and it should be less hot, as someone could get severely injured by accident, and if you don't and someone does get hurt then you should pay the damages. It's straight up common sense.

Wtf
DatSpicyBoi17@reddit (OP)
They don't glow or make noise. That was the trade off for making them retractable back in the day.

Somebody had some whack poor shit lol
Mado-Koku@reddit
OP painted a stick and called it a toy lightsaber. I wonder where he got the money for the paint.
DatSpicyBoi17@reddit (OP)
The noiseless ones were like 9 bucks at Meijer IIRC. Probably cheaper than the paint. Also sticks aren't retractable.
Mado-Koku@reddit
You got some broke ass sticks where you live, huh?
lurkenstine@reddit
Cause they would break, and if it wasn't printed on the package, they would get sued.
Panhead09@reddit
When my brother and I were kids, somebody shoved a tiny little toy bone between the sections of our blue lightsaber's blade, until it went all the way in and stayed there, rattling around forever. I was so mad.
Stregen@reddit
It's so they're not getting warranty-cases when sperglords bang their plastic sticks together at full tardstrenght and they break.
yobob591@reddit
you can buy dueling-grade sabers that can take full retardstrength hits, I think its more that these specific ones are the cheapo kids ones and they dont want to be liable for the children beating each other to death

It's for separating out the weak, rule-obsessed Jedi children from the based rising Sith lord youth.
