Me v. Orville Reddenbacher??

If torts is over, then why am I still thinking about it?

I took my four hour test this morning. It is now done and I can burn my outline if I want (though I put so much work into that damn thing... particularly with the colored markers...) and I was home while the sun was out so I made some popcorn... and in opening the package I noticed that the directions of how to pop it were written in english and spanish, and there were also pictures that showed you how to a) put into a microwave b) listen for the sound of popping c) open the package after. Immediately I thought "Hmm, I wonder if this came about through a products liability case where the warning was inadequate. After all, you need to have the right label for the consumers your product is aimed at, and this sometimes means that you needs visual imagery. I wonder if these pictures help people not burn themselves. I wonder what sort of popcorn accidents people have gotten into. Burned from the bag when opening it? There was no warning that listening with your head up to the microwave like that may lead some to develop brain cancer... necessary? negligent? Strict liability? AHHHH!!"

Will I ever be able to ignore warning labels again? I wonder.
