Back in the late 1980's I worked for FMC that manufactured all kind of food processing equipment from planting to packaging. One of the engineers told me he was getting a free trip to California to testify in a trial. They made a "root crop harvester" and a worker got killed working on it.The warnings are there as a defense to be used in court WHEN someone drinks the contents of the battery, not to prevent it from happening. What makes an idiot an idiot is not only the lack of common sense, but the refusal to heed warnings.
