I’m assuming this is a gas grill, and the lawyers made them include this after some drunks blew themselves up or burned the deck down.

Every disclaimer has a story behind it.

DO NOT start chainsaw between legs

Charcoal grill, successfully assembled and cooked on while intoxicated with multiple substances.

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I was just thinking more could go spectacular wrong with a pressurized cylinder of propane vs a bag of charcoal.

Out of curiosity in the legality. Is insulin considered a prescription drug?

Could a malfunction be blamed on the operator if he/she is diabetic?

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 9 points 2 days ago

I've seen diabetic family members so fucked up they ended up in hospital.

Then again that's because they weren't on their drugs...

The "may" carries a lot of weight so it probably depends. The way US law works is pretty weird IMHO and the reason for many of such disclaimers/waivers. "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear", "Contents may be hot", etc.

[–] ElectricTrombone@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Man. That is a really nice grill.

[–] TaTTe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

You don't have the BALLS to grill me!

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Not one I'd use.
